Intel takes compiler research to China
Intel Corp. Wednesday announced a partnership with the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing to conduct advanced software
compiler research.
The focus of the two-year research agreement will be on improving the general
performance and efficiency of Intel's Itanium processor, the company said in
a statement. Compilers take software written in high-level programming languages,
such as C and C++, and convert them into machine code that can be understood
by microprocessors.
Research work to be carried out under the agreement will focus on the development
of modular compiler components that allow researchers to test different optimization
techniques, Intel said. Optimization techniques to be tested in this way will
include loop nesting, inter-procedural analysis, scalar optimization, global
instruction scheduling, profiling, software pipeline, register allocation, predication
and speculation. In addition, a number of simulator tools will be developed
to enable validation and comparison of these modules, it said.
