Reimagining Computation: Compilers, CPUs, and Beyond

Description

At the Chair for Compiler Construction, we explore how compilers bridge the gap between high-level programs and a wide range of modern hardware architectures. This demo showcases a toy example of that journey: understanding how both conventional and emerging systems operate, writing code for them, observing how a compiler optimizes that code, and seeing how it is executed on traditional CPUs as well as on novel in-memory computing platforms. The goal is to illustrate how intelligent compiler strategies and architectural innovation can work together to make software faster, more efficient, and better adapted to the hardware it runs on.
