MaJIC: Compiling MATLAB for Speed and Responsiveness

This paper presents and evaluates techniques to improve the execution performance of MATLAB. Previous efforts con-centrated on source to source translation and batch compila-tion;MaJIC provides an interactive frontend that looks like MATLAB and compiles/optimizes code behind the scenes in real time, employing a combination of just-in-time and speculative ahead-of-time compilation. Performance results show that the proper mixture of these two techniques can yield near-zero response time as well as performance gains previously achieved only by batch compilers
