Continuous Collective Compilation Framework (CCC) is a collaborative modular plugin-enabled R&D infrastructure to automate program and architecture optimizations (i.e. iteratively search for good program and architecture optimizations in a feedback-directed manner) and gather various static and dynamic optimization profile data in a Collective Optimization Database. It supports both global program optimization and fine-grain procedure, loop or instruction level optimizations if compiler supports Interactive Compilation Interface. It is used to help end-users optimize their programs, libraries and whole OS automatically (improve execution time/code size, etc), test and tune compiler optimization heuristic. It also enables collaborative R&D and optimization knowledge reuse with statistical and machine learning techniques (FMTP2008, FT2009).

CCC Framework is a community-driven project - you are welcome to join the project, extend it, provide smart search and data analysis plugins, leave feedback and add your optimization data to help the community. You can also communicate with cTuning community through our mailing lists.
