  • Automated compiler specialization for global optimization
    Patent number: 9552193
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • OVINE IDENTIFICATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20110033849
    Abstract: The invention relates to method for identifying an ovine with a genotype indicative of one or more altered performance traits, the method including the step of detecting, in a sample derived from the ovine, the presence of at least one allele of the CP34 simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, or at least one allele of a marker in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with CP34, wherein the presence of the allele is indicative of the altered performance traits in the ovine.
