There was an interesting paper linked on here about automatic optimization of Photostop filters via machine learning. I think the novel part was that it operated on binary code, not source. Can't find the link at the moment, but searching for it yielded a bunch of similar papers about machine learning-aided optimization.
- roel_v 11y agoThat was highly specific for the type of operation they were looking at. Still spiffy, but not something that can be folded into a general-purpose compiler.
- fanf2 11y agoDynamic optimization of binary code is 25 years old or more. The first widely deployed JITs were for running binary executables on different architectures, such as the Mac 68k -> PowerPC transition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_translation#Dynamic_binary_translation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_translation#Dynamic_bin...
