Toward Open-source Compilers in a Cloud-based Environment: The Need and Current Challenges Presenting Author: Contact: Taher Ahmed Ghaleb 1 st International Conference on Open Source Software Computing (OSSCOM 2015)

Index  Introduction  Related work  The required framework  Discussion  Prospective features  Target stakeholders  Potential challenges  Conclusion 2

Introduction  Problems of Conventional Compilers  Being installed  Platform independent  Compatibility  Portability  Updates  Being closed-source  Extensibility  Creating new languages.  Bug fixing. 3

Related work  Open-Source Compilers  Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK) [4], 1983  Open64 [5] and GNU Compiler Collection [6]  Polyglot [7], JastAdd [9], abc [10], etc.  Online repositories for Open-Source Programs  GitHub, SourceForge, CodePlex, etc.  Cloud-based Compilers  Cloud compiler fro C/C++ [17].  Browser-based IDE [18].  Online compilers:  CompileOnline, Ideone, CodeChef, etc. 4

The Required Framework 5

The Required Framework (2)  Portal & Dashboard Layer  Project Management Layer  Collaboration Layer  Web-based Interface Layer  Compilation Layer  Prospective Features 6

Prospective Features  Accessibility  Portability  Extensibility  Self-updated  Efficient Processing  Code Sharing  Collaborative & Real-time Team-work Programming 7

Target Stakeholders  Academic Institutions  Developers  Researchers 8

Potential Challenges  File System  Networking APIs  GUI-based Programs  Security Issues 9

Conclusion and Future Work  A combination of two aspects (Open-source & Cloud) computing for compilers.  Future recommendations:  Real-world implementation and deployment.  Further investigation of the features provided by current cloud-based compilers.  Use of the shelf (existing open-source compilers and cloud- based repositories and hosting providers). 10
