Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for transmitting high speed digital network data over existing wiring in legacy platforms. In some embodiments, high-speed digital data can be communicated over existing wiring and infrastructure on air, land, and marine platforms. The disclosed systems and methods are beneficial for platforms that were designed, developed, and manufactured before modern high speed communications were standardized, so they typically lack the communications infrastructure required to integrate advanced systems at remote points within the platform. The disclosed communications technology enables a legacy platform or infrastructure to take advantage of the advancements in sensor and payload technology since the production of such platform.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for the offline static analysis of a stable code base in order to build a compiler and tools specialized to that code base. This allows global code base knowledge to be applied earlier in the compilation process giving better opportunities for optimization. The offline static analysis produces specialized compiler components that are then used to rebuild the compiler. This results, over time, in a compiler specialized to the code base with improved optimization after every compiler release cycle.
