> Hmm, this would only optimize the bytecode fetch/decode step of the ocaml execution cycle. I am not sure that it will result in much real-world speedup.
Would be interesting to try. I suspect the C compiler would then optimize the sequences of operations on the data as well. For example, something like vector addition. > In fact, that seems to be the main problem with many of these so-called JIT interpreters, which in my opinion, do not seem to have learnt from the HAL architectures of IBM OS's etc. Was probably also the problem with Transmeta; cheap compilation entails cheap performance. Can you elaborate? Cheers, Jon. _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
