Beating the Compiler: Handwritten Interpreter Outperforms Native Code
Original: Beating the Compiler
A new blog post by Matt Keeter explores how a handwritten interpreter can beat the compiler in some cases. The author shows a small virtual machine that is faster than the native code produced by a C compiler for certain workloads. Readers of Hacker News are discussing the techniques, comparing notes on compilers, caching, and where hand-tuned code can still win.
Why now: The counterintuitive claim that hand-written code can outperform compiled code resonates with performance-minded developers.
