Igalia

Compiler technology is at the heart of performance optimization: compilers generate the machine code that will run your software, and as such, they are the main responsible actors in making the best use of the CPU instruction set to get the job done in the most efficient way possible.

At Igalia we believe that client-side web technologies are the future of consumer electronics: we have the best team of WebKit developers that any consultancy can offer and we complement that with a strong competence in Javascript engines like V8 and JSC, making Igalia the best partner of choice for optimizing consumer electronic solutions based on client-side web technology.

Although most of our upstream work lives around Javascript engines our skills apply also other domains: we have experience with debuggers (GDB and integrated debuggers) and can integrate dynamic language environments in existing C/C++ systems too. We have experience also with the Guile Scheme compiler, especially in the optimizer and its next-generation virtual machine.

Igalia has talented engineers who understand how compilers work and can optimize how they generate machine code for your programs, providing that performance boost that can make a real difference. Our team can provide holistic optimizations: in the runtime, on the frontend, the optimizer and in the backend.

We can also help companies developing Javascript-based software and products, advising on their design and implementation choices or programming and upstreaming new features required in the javascript engine.
