OS-Independent Code: Intermediate Languages

The trend to support OS-independent binary code is to compile the source code into the binary format of an intermediate language.

And to provide an interpreter for the intermediate language on each OS to translate the binary code of the intermediate language into the native binary code of the OS.

The Programming Language for .NET: C#

C#:

(0) C^+^2n; n = 0, 1, 2, => C, C++, C#

(1) The most advanced programming language to date

(3) OOP (Object-oriented Programming)

(4) EDP (Event Driven Programming)

(5) Dynamic type generation

(6) Platform-independent?: Code runs on any platform with .NET runtime

(7) Visual Studio

A Common Language?

.NET Common Language Runtime

To make .NET language independent, CLR (Common Language Runtime) is defined as the runtime environment.

CLR defines CTS (Common Type System) which should be followed by all languages to be used in the .NET framework.

Syntax: int, for, ..

Semantics: multiple inheritance is not allowed in CTS

The code that follows CTS standard is called managed code.

regular C++ supports multiple inheritance

managed C++ does not support multiple inheritance

CLI (Common Language Infrastructure)

CLR/CTS for Everyone?

CLI : Common Language Infrastructure

A specification defines an environment for multiple high-level languages to be used on different computer platforms.

Created by Microsoft based on .NET, standardized by MS, Intel, HP and others, ratified by ECMA and ISO.

.NET is an implementation of CLI for desktop systems.

.NET Compact Framework is an implementation of CLI for portable devices.

Open Source implementations: Mono development platform (Novell), Portable .NET (dotGNU)

Confirming CTS (Common Type System)

Even though, CLI/CTS/CLR can make a program written in any language to run on any platform, the entire program (including all libraries used) has to be on the platform before running.

Can we have part of a program on one computer and another part of the same program on another computer?

Distributed Computing. A program is divided into multiple parts and different parts are distribute on different computers.

e.g. virtual surgery.

Web Enabled & Distributed

.NET

What is .NET?

.Net is a framework for developing OS-platform-independent, programming- language-independent, web-enabled, distributed applications.

.Net is Web-enabled and Distributed

To run distributed code on the web, we need a standard way to register the code and a standard way to access the code.

Registration:

UDDI Registry: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration.

Access:

SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol

WSDL: Web Service Description Language

Common Language Runtime (CLR ): provides the runtime environment for MSIL code.

Framework Class Library (FCL) : provides standard libraries for developing common .Net applications.

History: .Net & COM : Code Reuse

MFC: Microsoft Foundation Class, code reuse within an application (process)

COM: Component Object Model, code reuse across applications (processes)

DCOM: Distributed COM, code reuse across systems

COM+: Internet-based Enterprise COM, code reuse across the Internet

.NET: COM+ 2.0, all COM+ services are available in .NET, even those not in managed code, interoperable with COM-based applications

Latest .NET Framework

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa496123

Current version: framework 4.5 (08/2012)

Framework 4.5 for Windows 8.

ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) support in 4.5 on Windows 8 in addition to x86

SIMD (single instruction, multiple data), multi and many core processors (GPUs). Some support through Direct3D. No support yet for SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions to x86)
