Interactive C++: Showcase Presentation [20 Sep at 17:00 CET/8:00PDT]
Vassil Vassilev
Dear all,
Our next meeting will be on 20 September 2023 at 17:00 Geneva (CH) Time.
We have been working actively in the area of cling and LLVM in the last 3 years. We would like to invite you to our presentation which summarizes the challenges, opportunities and the achievements during this period.
Title: C++ as a service - rapid software development and
dynamic interoperability with python and beyond
Abstract: The C++ programming language is used for many numerically intensive scientific applications. A combination of performance and solid backward compatibility has led to its use for many research software codes over the past 20 years. Despite its power, C++ is often seen as difficult to learn and inconsistent with rapid application development. Exploration and prototyping is slowed down by the long edit-compile-run cycles during development.
In this talk we show how to leverage our experience in
interactive C++, just-in-time compilation technology (JIT),
dynamic optimizations, and large scale software development to
greatly reduce the impedance mismatch between C++ and Python. We
show how clang-repl generalizes Cling in LLVM upstream to offer
a robust, sustainable and omnidisciplinary solution for C++
language interoperability. The demonstrate how we have:
* advanced the interpretative technology to provide a
state-of-the-art C++ execution environment;
* enabled functionality which can provide native-like,
dynamic runtime interoperability between C++ and Python; and
* allowed utilization of heterogeneous hardware.
The presentation includes interactive session where we demonstrate some of the capabilities of our system via the Jupyter interactive environment.
Speaker: Dr. Vassil Vassilev, compiler-research.org
This talk will not be recorded. Feel free to forward this email to everybody who might be interested.
Best,
