Resumen
Today, compilers and high-level languages are the foundation of the complex and ubiquitous software infrastructure that undergirds the global economy. In the coming decade, 2010 to 2020, compiler research will play a critical role in addressing two of the major challenges facing the overall computer field: cost of programming multicore processors, and security and reliability of complex software systems. Advances in compiler technology will require the creativity, enthusiasm, and energy of individual researchers, but given the complexity of compiler technology and software systems, long-term projects led by compiler specialists from industry and research institutions is necessary for success. Therefore, four main recommendations are offered: 1. Enable the creation of compiler research centers. 2. Create significant university/industry/government partnerships for the development of infrastructure and the gathering of benchmarks while funding individual projects at universities and other research centers. 3. Develop methodologies and repositories that enable the comparison of methods and reproducibility of results. 4. Develop curriculum recommendations on compiler technology.
