Spinor

.NET Runtime for Julia

Resources

• .NET 6 (Statically Typed): Runtime, Code Generation & Execution Platform
  • Common Intermediate Language (CIL): JRM lowered to CIL on compilation.
• ANTLR4: Parser, Lexer & AST Walker
• Julia: (Dynamically Typed): Base Language used by Julia++

Language Project

• Spinor Runtime: Required to run Julia++ Code. Contains the parser, JIL compiler and other tools that dynamically link together the program during runtime.

  • Spinor Grammer: The grammar defines the structure of the language and when compiled to code with ANTLR, will generate a parser, lexer and AST walker that will be used by the Spinor Compiler.

  • ILCompiler. Used by the Spinor Compiler to generate IL code.

• Testing. Where the Spinor Runtime is tested to make sure it is valid.

• Julia Standard Library (JSL). During Runtime Compilation, the JSL will be compiled to JIL and compacted into a jstl.cjpp file that contains the code model of the JSL and precompiles various methods to speed up runtime execution.

• Spinor Standard Library (SSTL). Extension of the JSL for the Spinor Language

Work Plan

• Type Lowering & Compilation of Expr objects into CLR

• Expr Compiler. Create JRM of basic program(s) that is able to be successfully compiled. Julia Grammer. Make it Julia v1.9 Compatible and be able to lower to CLR.

• Julia STL Modification. The JSL will need to be modified in order to make it work in the new environment

• Survey Math, Physics & CS Faculty about features they would like to see in a language

• Spinor Grammer. Extend the Julia Grammer to custom features

• Spinor Standard Library. Creation of the Julia++ STL.
