As regards competitiveness, flexibility to change from one target platform to another is decisive for application developers, especially in the area of embedded systems. The Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF), developed and evaluated within OMI (Open Microprocessor Systems Initiative) has turned out to be a key technology to improve this flexibility. The basic idea is to break compilers into front-ends (for specific languages) and back-ends (for specific microprocessors) where both pieces easily could be replaced by a "plug-and-play" compatible component.
