Hi Nikhil, While today's compilers are still largely very intricate code for Turing machines, this will certainly change during your career. It seems you'll be using GPUs for AI-assisted construction of optimal program graphs and immediately testing the performance of code fragments instead of rel

Hi Richard, Thank you so much for the reply! You're absolutely right about using CPU threads. I’m just really curious about whether GPU acceleration could somehow be explored for compilation, even if it’s not traditionally well-suited. I know it might not be practical, but I wanted to understand

Hi GCC Team, I'm fairly new to the world of compilers and trying to understand how they work in more depth. Recently, I started exploring the idea of *parallelizing the internal steps of compilation* — such as parsing, code generation, and optimization — instead of the usual serial approach, and p
