Sphere Engine Compilers 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?

Sphere Engine Compilers is perfect for creating:

• recruitment platforms with the ability to run code written by candidates
• e-learning programming courses with executable examples of code
• systems for sharing executable source code
• online Integrated Development Environments
• interactive massive open online courses (MOOCs)

What are the methods of integration?

There are three methods of integrating with Compilers module:
