Additionally, there are a number of other more practical issues with optimizing compiler technology:
Advances in both computer hardware and compiler technology soon made Lisp machines obsolete.
Until the compiler technology improves enough, this problem can be only partially eliminated by very careful coding and avoiding certain idioms.
Most model compilers target a known programming language, because this allows reuse of existing compiler technologies.
During the 1970s the firm developed compiler technology for the programming language Simula.
The explanations you'll find there are kind of impenetrable if you're not already familiar with compiler technology, however.
In the early days of the computer industry, compiler technology did not exist and programming was done in assembly language.
It all sounds as if the compiler technology - an essential element of the Pentium's claimed performance benefits over the 80486 - isn't quite there yet.
He has a long record of previous work in programming languages, compiler technology, and software architecture.
The company was eventually taken over in 1991 by Symantec Inc who wanted access to their compiler technology.
