Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for generating an executable version of an application using a distributed compiler operating on a plurality of compute nodes that include: receiving, by each compute node, a portion of source code for an application; compiling, in parallel by each compute node, the portion of the source code received by that compute node into a portion of object code for the application; performing, in parallel by each compute node, inter-procedural analysis on the portion of the object code of the application for that compute node, including sharing results of the inter-procedural analysis among the compute nodes; optimizing, in parallel by each compute node, the portion of the object code of the application for that compute node using the shared results of the inter-procedural analysis; and generating the executable version of the application in dependence upon the optimized portions of the object code of the application.
