Compiler Research - Welcome to the Compiler Research Group

Welcome to our Compiler Research Group

We are a group of programming languages enthusiasts located at the Princeton University and CERN. Our primary goal is research into foundational software tools helping scientists to program for speed, interoperability, interactivity, flexibility, and reproducibility.

Our current research focus is primarily in interpretative C/C++/CUDA, automatic differentiation tools, and C++ language interoperability with Python and D.

Cling’s CUDA Backend: Interactive GPU development with CUDA C++

Simeon Ehrig from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) shared his work with us recently. In his talk he gives insights about interactive CUDA using the C++ interpreter Cling. He shows several exciting examples in the area of dynamic execution without loss of state where we can "checkpoint" the execution state, add specific data analysis and reuse the previous computations.
