CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Compilers are programs that convert computer code written in high-level languages intelligible to humans into low-level instructions executable by machines. But there's more than ...

MIT researchers have developed a compiler that makes parallel programs much more efficient, pulling off a coding feat that the industry had thought impossible. The compiler—a program that converts ...

As processor architectures evolve and the complexity of instructions increases, the role of the compiler in application development continually gains importance. The applications developed in the ...

According to researchers from MIT, code written explicitly to take advantage of parallel computing usually loses the benefit of a compiler’s optimisation strategies. The reason, they say, is because ...
