MilePost Compiler: AI optimises machine code
,----[ Quote ]
| As part of the MilePost (Machine Learning for Embedded Programs Optimisation)
| project funded by Information Society Technologies (IST) of the European
| Union, the IBM research lab in Haifa, Israel, has released an open source
| compiler which automatically learns how to translate source code into machine
| code suitable for the respective hardware used. The compiler uses suggestions
| made by an ICI (Interactive Compilation Interface) plug-in.

IBM offers open source machine learning compiler
,----[ Quote ]
| Called Milepost GCC, the compiler is the result of a collaboration between
| IBM and partners in the European Union-funded Milepost consortium. The
| project is an extension of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) effort.

GCC 4.4 improves open source compiler with Graphite
,----[ Quote ]
| What does that all mean?
|
| Well it means that (some) programs that are compiled with GCC (and that's a
| lot) will now benefit from the improved optimizations and could possibly as a
| result become faster themselves. It never ceases to amaze me how with every
| new GCC release, software vendors a few months later will come out and say
| how their software is now faster as a result.

GCC 4.4.0 Release Candidate Is Now Out There
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are into compilers and have not already tried out the latest bits from
| GCC 4.4, you may want to give the GCC 4.4.0 Release Candidate 1 a whirl. GCC
| 4.4.0 RC1 was tar'ed up yesterday and is now ready for testing.
|
| GCC 4.4 has a number of benefits over GCC 4.3 in all areas. One of the GCC
| 4.4 features that excite us is the merging of the Graphite framework, which
| will ultimately provide automatic parallelization support. Also on the
| multi-threaded front, GCC 4.4 supports version 3.0 of OpenMP. While still
| experimental, in this GNU Compiler Collection update there is also better
| support for the C++0x language.

GCC To Receive Automatic Parallelization Support
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM's Razya Ladelsky today outlined plans for providing automatic
| parallelization support within the GNU Compiler Collection. The Graphite
| Framework, which provides high-level loop optimizations based upon the
| polyhedral model, was merged for the forthcoming release of GCC 4.4 and it
| will be used eventually to provide some level of automatic parallelization
| support. Graphite will be combined with autopar, which is an automatic
| parallelization code generator based upon GOMP that in turn implements
| OpenMP.

Plug-in architecture on the way for the gcc
,----[ Quote ]
| When Richard Stallman began writing Bison in 1983, he was only trying to
| build the bits of an operating system he would need to write another
| operating system. But that recursive goal was no stranger than the recursive
| name he would create for the software he would eventually create: the GNU
| Project, where GNU standard for “ GNU is Not Unix.”
|
| And now, 25 years later, one of the most important tools to come out of the
| GNU Project’s drive for the GNU Operating System—the GNU Compiler Collection—
| has received approval from the Free Software Foundation to begin work on a
| plug-in architecture.
|
| Mark Mitchell, founder of CodeSourcery, confirmed that the FSF gave its
| permission to prepare the gcc for plug-ins. This is the first time that such
| permission has been granted.

BSD Licensed PCC Compiler Imported
,----[ Quote ]
| It is not yet bug-free, but it can compile the i386 userspace. The big
| benefit of it (apart from that it's BSD licensed, for license geeks :-) is
| that it is fast, 5-10 times faster than gcc, while still producing reasonable
| code.
