  2. Dynamic compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_compilation

    An incremental compiler is used in POP-2, POP-11, Forth, some versions of Lisp, e.g. Maclisp and at least one version of ML (Poplog ML). This requires the compiler for the programming language to be part of the runtime system. In consequence, source code can be read in at any time, from the terminal, from a file, or possibly from a data ...

  3. Winnowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnowing

    Rice winnowing, Uttarakhand, India Winnowing in a village in Tamil Nadu, India Use of winnowing forks by ancient Egyptian agriculturalists. Winnowing is a process by which chaff is separated from grain. It can also be used to remove pests from stored grain. Winnowing usually follows threshing in grain preparation. In its simplest form, it ...

  4. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    The earliest published JIT compiler is generally attributed to work on LISP by John McCarthy in 1960. [4] In his seminal paper Recursive functions of symbolic expressions and their computation by machine, Part I, he mentions functions that are translated during runtime, thereby sparing the need to save the compiler output to punch cards [5] (although this would be more accurately known as a ...

  5. Incremental compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_compiler

    For most incremental compilers, compiling a program with small changes to its source code is usually near instantaneous. It can be said that an incremental compiler reduces the granularity of a language's traditional compiling units while maintaining the language's semantics, such that the compiler can append and replace smaller parts.

  6. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  7. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Assembly language programmers (including optimizing compiler writers) are also able to benefit from the technique of dynamic loop unrolling, using a method similar to that used for efficient branch tables. Here, the advantage is greatest where the maximum offset of any referenced field in a particular array is less than the maximum offset that ...

  8. Ahead-of-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahead-of-time_compilation

    It is most commonly associated with the act of compiling a higher-level programming language such as C or C++, or an intermediate representation such as Java bytecode or Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code, into native machine code so that the resulting binary file can execute natively, just like a standard native compiler.

  9. Java concurrency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_concurrency

    The Java programming language and the Java virtual machine (JVM) are designed to support concurrent programming. All execution takes place in the context of threads. Objects and resources can be accessed by many separate threads. Each thread has its own path of execution, but can potentially access any object in the program.
