Is dynamic compilation possible for embedded system ? Scopes 2015, St Goar Victor Lomüller, Henri-Pierre Charles CEA DACLE / Grenoble June 2 2015 www.cea.fr & Cliquez pour modifier le Introduction : Wake Up Questions Session style du titre FAQ What do you mean by dynamic compilation ? : a compilation system where the binary code is generated at run-time Like a Java JIT system ? Yes exactly ! But not only for portability : for performances & data / architecture adaptation But Java JIT can not be used on ES ! Yes ! Because it need a huge memory size, introduce lag, is slow in the interpreted part, takes time to generate binary code, ... because it’s java ;-) What do you want ? We want to have flexible and fast code generation at run-time. Use it to specialize (simplify) binary code at run-time.There is many application domains !
