Well, the plan is to distribute an intermediate representation and then specialize it to the particular mill pipeline the first time you load the binary. Probably a lot easier than translating something that wasn't designed for it.
- mjn 13y agoI believe IBM mainframes have traditionally used something like that: binary code is shipped for a general mainframe architecture, and on first execution is specialized to the hardware / performance characteristics of the particular model within that architecture that you're running. Also allows for transparent upgrades, since if you migrate to a new model, the binary will re-specialize itself on the next execution, (ideally) taking advantage of whatever fancy new hardware you bought.
