Search Results for "virtual hard disk"

For decades, object-based virtual tables have been a de facto implementation of runtime polymorphism in many (compiled) programming languages. There are many drawbacks in this mechanism, including life management (because each object may have a different size and ownership) and reflection (because it is hard to balance between usability and memory allocation). To workaround these drawbacks, some languages like Java or C# choose to sacrifice performance by introducing GC to facilitate lifetime management, and JIT-compile the source code at runtime to generate full metadata. ...

Tiramisu is a compiler for expressing fast and portable data parallel computations. It provides a simple C++ API for expressing algorithms (Tiramisu expressions) and how these algorithms should be optimized by the compiler. Tiramisu can be used in areas such as linear and tensor algebra, deep learning, image processing, stencil computations and machine learning. The Tiramisu compiler is based on the polyhedral model thus it can express a large set of loop optimizations and data layout...
