Software generators are programs that build other programs. This site focuses on the topic in general and the Anticipatory Optimization Generator (AOG) in particular. AOG is a system for translation Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) into efficient code. More generally, AOG is a research activity that is attempting to push generator technology to:
 |
allow significantly shorter specifications of big and complex programs through the use of DSLs, |
|
allow more fine grain variability in the aspects of the program whereby global and sweeping program changes may be made via small localized specification changes, |
|
produce more functionality from those specifications (i.e., increase programmer productivity), and |
|
reduce the "time to market" needed to create working code. |
AOG introduces several new approaches to Domain Specific Language Translation.
