a code generator, wherein the code generator is configured to create a respective compiled code for the target architecture of each of the number of portions of source code, wherein creating the compiled code includes compiling a first compiled code based on a first target architecture and a second compiled code based on a second target architecture.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the identifier for each of the number of portions of source code is an address space attribute.
13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the identifier for a first one of the number of portions of source code is an address space attribute for a processing in memory (PIM) device.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the identifier for a second one of the number of portions of source code is an address space attribute for a host processor.
15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the target identifier includes a table that correlates the target architectures and identifiers.
16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the respective identifier for each of the number of portions of source code includes a variable associated with a respective portion of the source code.
17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the code generator is configured to generate the compiled code for a portion of source code that is part of a loop body when the portion of the source code includes a common identifier for a plurality of variables associated with the portion of the source code.
18. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the code generator is configured to generate a number of portions of compiled code for a portion of source code that is part of a loop body when the portion of the source code includes different identifiers for a plurality of variables associated with the portion of the source code.
19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein each of the number of portions of compiled code are for different target architectures.
20. The apparatus of claim 11 , the code generator is configured to generate compiled code for a portion of source code that includes complex flow control instructions when the portion of the source code includes a common identifier for a plurality of variables associated with the portion of the source code.
21. A method, comprising:
receiving source code from a memory array that includes instructions to identify a target architecture, wherein the source code includes a number of portions that each include a respective attribute indicating a type of target architecture;
determining the type of target architecture based on the named address space for compiled code for each of the number of portions of source code based on the respective attribute of each of the number of portions of source code; and
creating a number of portions of compiled code, wherein each of number of portions of compiled code is created for the type of target architecture based on the respective attribute of each of number of portions of source code.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the method includes identifying portions of source code that include a common indication of a type of target architecture.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein creating the number of portions of compiled code includes creating compiled code for the portions of source code that were identified as including the common indication of the target architecture.
24. The method of claim 21 , wherein the method includes determining that the type of target architecture for a particular portion of source code without an indicator is a host processor.
25. The method of claim 21 , wherein determining the target architecture for each of the number of portions of source code includes using a table in a compiler that correlates target architectures with address space indicators.
26. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a compiler that includes:
instructions, received from a memory array, including source code with a number of named address spaces;
