optimization in compilers

[behrouz khosravi]

Hello everyone. 

Well I guess my question is not about julia itself but I though I may find an answer here.

I need to know that is convex optimization a possible tool in compiler desing?

Thanks

I don't know about convex techniques specifically, but linear programming is used. See for example: http://polly.llvm.org/

(this is probably too general of a question for this list in the future, but hopefully that page and the references in the linked papers might get you started. I understand it is quite a difficult topic to search for because so much compiler work contains the word "optimization")
