Proteus Cross Compiler
=======================

Proteus Cross Compiler is a system that allows the generation of Java 
executables from C/C++ and fortran code.

LLVM compilation system (e.g. Clang or llvm-gcc/g++/gfortran) can be used to 
generate LLVM intermediate representation and apply various optimisations to 
this output. This output can then be passed to Proteus to generate Java(tm) 
source code and ultimately java executables. It provides implementation of some 
but not all C, C++ and Fortran runtime libraries. 

Proteus has been written with a view to producing Java executables that run with
comparable performance to the native code. Acheiving upto 50% of native speed 
without intervention. Proteus provides a simple ability to provide alternative
implementations of any function and this feature has been used to increase 
performance to 85% of native speed (running on 64bit linux).
