Largest Optical Telescope in the world

A charitable foundation funded by Intel co-founder Gordan Moore and his wife Betty will donate $200 million to construct what is being billed as the largest optical telescope in the world.

World's Biggest Telescope in the Works

"It's the biggest news to hit astronomy since the Hubble Space Telescope was launched,"

The Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT, is a $1-billion project headed by the California Institute of Technology, the University of California and two university consortiums.

Construction of the TMT is scheduled to begin in 2009, with science observations on tap for 2016.

The Moore Foundation grant puts TMT well ahead of two rival next-generation telescopes, the Giant Magellan Telescope, a 24.5-meter observatory planned by the Carnegie Institution and partners, and the European Southern Observatory's 42-meter Extremely Large Telescope.

What is a compiler?

A compiler is necessary to make your source code (..c, .cpp, or .cc files) into a running program.

Compiler terminology

Compile Colloquially, to convert a source code file into an executable, but strictly speaking, compilation is an intermediate step

Link The act of taking compiled code and turning it into an executable

Build A build refers to the process of creating the end executable (what is often colloquially refered to as compilation). Tools exits to help reduce the complexity of the build process--makefiles, for instance.

Compiler Generally, compiler refers to both a compiler and a "linker"

Linker The program that generates the executable by linking

IDE Integrated Development Environment, a combination of a text editor and a compiler, such that you can compile and run your programs directly within the IDE. IDEs usually have facilities to help you quickly jump to compiler errors.

GNU (pronounced /ˈgnuː/ (help·info)) is a computer operating system composed entirely of free software. Its name is a recursive acronym for GNU's Not Unix; it was chosen because its design is Unix-like, but differs from Unix by being free software and by not containing any Unix code.^[1] GNU was founded by Richard Stallman and was the original focus of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

The project to develop GNU is known as the GNU Project, and programs released under the auspices of the GNU Project are called GNU packages or GNU programs. The system's basic components include the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU Binary Utilities (binutils), the bash shell, the GNU C library (glibc), and GNU Core Utilities (coreutils).

A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that translates text written in a computer language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language). The original sequence is usually called the source code and the output called object code. Commonly the output has a form suitable for processing by other programs (e.g., a linker), but it may be a human-readable text file.

The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language or machine language). A program that translates from a low level language to a higher level one is a decompiler.

A language rewriter is usually a program that translates the form of expressions without a change of language.
