JIT Compilation and Exascale Computing

Rob and Jason are joined by Hal Finkel from the US Department of Energy. They first talk to Hal about the LLVM 13 release and why the release notes were lacking. Then they talk to Hal about his C++ JIT Proposal, the Clang prototype and how it could be used. They also talk about Hal's work at DOE, Exascale computing and more. <h3>News</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-announce/2021-October/000095.html">LLVM 13 released</a></li> <li><a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20211004-00/?p=105754">Some lesser-known powers of std::optional</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/q5yeo6/barbarian_an_open_and_distributed_conan_package/">Barbarian, an open and distributed Conan package index!</a></li> </ul> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/hfinkel/llvm-project-cxxjit">ClangJIT</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p1609r1.html">P1609R1 C++ Should Support Just-in-Time Compilation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dv9vdGIaWs">Hal Finkel "Faster Compile Times and Better Performance: Bringing Just-in-Time Compilation to C+"</a></li> <li><a href="https://science.osti.gov/ascrI">US Department of Energy: Advanced Scientific Computing Research</a></li> </ul> <h3>Sponsors</h3> <ul> <li>Use code JetBrainsForCppCast during checkout at <a href="https://jb.gg/cppcast">JetBrains.com</a> for a 25% discount</li> </ul>
