How much performance do VM instruction-pointer (IP) updates cost and how much benefit
do we get from optimizing them away? Two decades ago it had little effect on the hardware …

Improving compilation time in optimizing compilers is challenging due to their large number
of interconnected components. This includes compiler optimizations, compiler tiers …

Super-instructions are a crucial optimization method for interpreters, as they combine
multiple basic instructions into single specialized operations. The optimization technique …

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) play a crucial role in addressing unique computational
challenges and applications. Traditionally, many DSLs are implemented via interpreters …

Abstract Both “interpreter” and “compiler” cover a wide range of implementation techniques,
and in some cases one can argue where to draw the line. Consequently, both approaches …

PL\Flummi is a research language for the compiler “Flummi”. To verify the correctness of
Flummi, we built an interpreter for PL\Flummi with the focal point of simplicity. With this in …
