Wirt: We see activity in traditional compilers that adapt programming languages better for multithreading and hyperthreading. OpenMP, an initiative to adapt programming languages to handle threading, is a good example. [See glossary at right.] Rattner: Today’s instruction sets were really designed for static compilers, so the trade-offs they make are in favor of static compilers. When we move to dynamic compilers [like Java and .Net], we can continue to optimize even while the program is executing.
