OpenArkCompiler

Overview

---

A new generation of compilers for IoT that support multiple languages and multiple devices.

OpenArkCompiler is an open source project from the Huawei Ark compiler.

OpenArkCompiler: Four technical points

Efficient execution in the runtime environment by compiling different language code into a set of executables in the development environment:：

• Support multi-language joint optimization and eliminate cross-language call overhead;
• The program does not need to rely on virtual machines when running, reducing resource consumption and having an efficient memory recovery mechanism;
• Flexible compilation and optimization for different applications;
• Developers have low learning and use costs.

Future-oriented intelligent hardware ecosystem

With the development of current terminal hardware, there is a trend toward the development of intelligent IoT diversity, gradually forming a hardware form with mobile phone as the center and multi-device interconnection; the development of hardware diversity brings the complexity of software architecture and programming framework, the upper layer Application and business software developers urgently need a set of compilation frameworks, which can realize multiple compilations of multiple programming languages, multi-device operation, and a good performance foundation. Based on the above hardware development trends and software ecological development requirements, the Ark compiler combines the industry's latest compiler frontier technology to create a multi-architecture programming language environment for software developers.

Opensource plan

Opensource Compiler Framework

• Time: August 2019
• Opensource scope: compiler IR + mid-range language implementation
• Open ability:
  • Opensource Framework for reference learning, understand the Ark compiler architecture and framework code
  • Developers can build a complete compiler toolchain that supports Java Sample program compilation (non-application)

Follow-up opensource scope

Opensource compiler frontend, backend; support Java program compilation, JavaScript language application compilation.
