The case for application specific compilers

Abstract

We believe it makes sense to develop compilers that are specific for particular application domains. In many areas of embedded computing, processor architectures are designed specifically to run a narrow band of application code very well. These architectures are unlike any the world has seen before and to program them is a challenge to say the least. CoSy's flexible compiler technology thrives in this area. By viewing the compiler as a means and not as a goal, it is possible to achieve spectacular results in a very short time-frame.
