Abstract
A compiler may optimize source code and any referenced libraries to execute on a plurality of different processor architecture implementations. For example, if a compute node has three different types of processors with three different architecture implementations, the compiler may compile the source code and generate three versions of object code where each version is optimized for one of the three different processor types. After compiling the source code, the resultant executable code may contain the necessary information for selecting between the three versions. For example, when a program loader assigns the executable code to the processor, the system determines the processor's type and ensures only the optimized version that corresponds to that type is executed. Thus, the operating system is free to assign the executable code to any of the different types of processors.
