Research challenge
As demonstrated by HiPEAC1 the last 3 years, the technical and non-technical motivations for supporting a common compilation platform and selecting GCC are overwhelming. More and more academic and industrial groups embrace GCC for research, training and production. This success exacerbates the need for support and coordination of the exchange and mutual-interest developments into the platform. It also requires significant and long-term commitment on applied research to transfer research prototypes into production branches of the compiler.
