Java raises issue of role of Interpreters versus Compilers
|
| 2 |
Success of systems like MATLAB and languages like APL show relevance of interpreters in Scientic Computing
|
| 3 |
PERL, JavaScript, TcL, Visual Basic etc. indicate growing use of Interpreters in other domain
-
Natural as computers get faster!
|
| 4 |
We suggest that integration of Interpreters and compilers is an important research issue and could suggest new models for parallelism
-
We need both Compilers and Interpreters!!
|
| 5 |
Optimizing Interpreters (as in JIT for Java)
|
| 6 |
A library model where interpreted toolkits invoke lovingly parallelized high performance libraries
|
| 7 |
Natural linkage to interpreted data analysis / visualization
