MILEPOST GCC

MILEPOST GCC is free community-driven open-source adaptive self-tuning compiler that combines stable production-quality GCC, Interactive Compilation Interface and machine learning plugins to adapt to any given architecture and program automatically and predict profitable optimizations to improve program execution time, code size and compilation time.,[1][2] It is currently used and supported by academia and industry[3] and is intended to open up research opportunities to automate compiler and architecture design and optimization.[4]

MILEPOST GCC is currently a part of the community-driven Collective Tuning Initiative (cTuning) to enable self-tuning computing systems based on collaborative open-source R&D infrastructure with unified interfaces and improve the quality and reproducibility of the research on code and architecture optimization. MILEPOST GCC is connected to Collective Optimization Database to collect and reuse profitable optimization cases from the community and predict good optimizations based on statistical analysis of optimization data.

In January 2018, the cTuning foundation and the Raspberry Pi Foundation published an interactive and reproducible article featuring MILEPOST GCC and Collective Knowledge framework "for collaborative research into multi-objective autotuning and machine learning techniques[5].
