# OpenArkCompiler
## Overview
-----------------
> Unified programming platform supporting multiple devices and languages
OpenArkCompiler is Huawei's open source project.
### Four Technical Features of OpenArkCompiler ###
Compiles code of different languages into a set of executable files and efficiently executes the files in the running environment.
- Supports joint optimization of multiple languages and eliminates cross-language calling overhead.
- Achieves lightweight language runtime.
- Collaborates hardware and software to maximize hardware energy efficiency.
- Supports diversified terminal platforms.
## Open Source Plan
**Open source compiler framework code**
- Time: August, 2019
- Scope: Compiler IR and middle-end language implementation
- Benefits:
- Provides an open source framework for understanding the architecture and framework code of OpenArkCompiler.
- Allows developers to build a complete compiler toolchain that supports the compilation of Java samples (non-application).
**Subsequent open source scope**
Open the front end, back end, and compilation optimization of compilers. Support the full compilation of Java programs and JavaScript applications.
|Open Source Scope|March 2020 |May 2020 |
| ------------ | -------------------|--------------------- |
|Front end| Jbc front-end basic framework | Front-end full open source |
|Middle end |Weekly open source optimization phase | |
|Back end |Backend open source (O0) (aarch64)|Weekly open source optimization (O2) (aarch64)|
|Test framework|Test framework and basic Cases| |
