Can you elaborate on that? My last update is from 2002, from an Intel guy who was working on it and said they couldn't. I was under the impression that no much has changed since - but perhaps I am wrong? (and perhaps I misunderstood him in 2002)?
- DannyBee 12y agoThey could do it by ~2005. In any case, it's always been possible. At worst, you make large integer linear programming based models of what you want to happen, and solve them. You can do optimal register allocation and scheduling, etc. You can basically shove everything you want into the ILP model. It's just going to take a ridiculous amount of memory and time to solve.
