PROGRAM COMPILATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134618 titled 'PROGRAM COMPILATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for compiling a program by updating operation types of variables to ensure consistent results in derivative function expressions.
- The method involves obtaining two expressions of a program that generate a dependency relationship based on a variable, with different operation types for the variable in each expression.
- The operation type of the variable is updated to prevent differential results or zero results after encountering a differential operation.
- The expressions are separately processed based on the updated operation type of the variable to obtain derivative function expressions.
- The derivative function expressions are combined using a chain rule to produce a compilation result of the program.
Potential Applications
- Scientific computing
- Machine learning algorithms
- Financial modeling
Problems Solved
- Ensuring consistent results in derivative function expressions
- Improving the accuracy of program compilation
- Enhancing the efficiency of mathematical computations
Benefits
- Increased accuracy in derivative calculations
- Improved performance of compiled programs
- Enhanced reliability of mathematical models

Original Abstract Submitted
a program compilation method and apparatus operate by: obtaining a first expression and a second expression of a program, where the first expression and the second expression generate a dependency relationship based on a first variable, and operation types of the first variable in the first expression and the second expression are different, and updating an operation type of the first variable; so that the first variable has no differential result or a result is zero after encountering a differential operation; separately processing the first expression and the second expression according to the updated operation type of the first variable, to obtain a corresponding derivative function expression; and; combining, based on a chain rule, derivative function expressions respectively corresponding to the first expression and the second expression, to obtain a compilation result of the program.
