Compilers
module overview

Sphere Engine Compilers module is a service that enables remote execution of computer programs and retrieving the results of their execution. It allows for:

• executing the source code of the program,
• specifying the input data for which we want to execute the program (optional),
• retrieving the execution results, including:
  • errors and warnings about the source code (e.g., compilation errors),
  • output data,
  • run-time errors,
  • execution time,
  • memory consumption.

The diagram below illustrates the steps that the program goes through from the moment it is sent to the execution results:

What can I use it for?
