Project Summary
Orc is a new sub-project of Liboil that I’ve been working on for a few weeks.
Orc stands for Oil Runtime Compiler, which further expands to Optimized Inner Loop Runtime Compiler.
As its name implies, the Orc library compiles code into a runnable function, and does it using SIMD instructions when available.
The “code” is currently an intermediate form that is roughly a platform-agnostic assembly language that understands variables and simple arrays.
It’s an intermediate form in the sense that it’s currently only stored as a list of structs — there isn’t a parser yet.
