OpenArkCompiler

Overview

Unified programming platform supporting multiple devices and languages

OpenArkCompiler is Huawei's open source project.

Four Technical Features of OpenArkCompiler

Compiles code of different languages into a set of executable files and efficiently executes the files in the running environment.

• Supports joint optimization of multiple languages and eliminates cross-language calling overhead.
• Achieves lightweight language runtime.
• Collaborates hardware and software to maximize hardware energy efficiency.
• Supports diversified terminal platforms.

Open Source Plan

Open source compiler framework code

• Time: August, 2019
• Scope: Compiler IR and middle-end language implementation
• Benefits:
  • Provides an open source framework for understanding the architecture and framework code of OpenArkCompiler.
  • Allows developers to build a complete compiler toolchain that supports the compilation of Java samples (non-application).

Subsequent open source scope Open the front end, back end, and compilation optimization of compilers. Support the full compilation of Java programs and JavaScript applications.
