Truffle

A Touch of Modern for C/C++ The Truffle project includes several different aspects to make C/C++ easier, safer, and faster. The entry point to the Truffle suite of tools is TrufC, a Cargo-inspired build system for C/C++. It also integrates Truffles other features, such as AI enabled optimizations. The Trufling models are able to read C/C++ source code, and generate optimal compiler flags for speed or safety. They will soon also be able to generate synthetic runtime data for a program to help the compiler further optimize the code. Currently, these models are improve the runtime performance of C by 5%-30% (average of 12%).

Dataset

• The dataset used to train the Trufling models can be found on Kaggle or by clicking here.

🔭 Scope

• Currently, Truffle only aims to support C/C++. Support for other systems level languages may come in the far future.
• Truffle only supports Linux and Windows though WSL. MacOS support is on the roadmap.

🚧 Work In Progress

Note: Truffle is in a very early state and nearly everything is currently under active development. Key areas currently being worked on:

• TrufC: TrufC is the CLI tool that users will interact with when using Truffle to optimize their code.
• Trufling 1 70M: The Trufling models produce synthetic runtime data and generate optimal compiler flags.

Quick Start

• You will interact with Truffle using TrufC. Download TrufC using the following script. Change --user to --system to install TrufC system wide.

sudo apt install valgrind -y
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akneni/truffle/refs/heads/main/trufc/scripts/install.py -o install.py
python3 install.py --user

• You can read the docs here: https://wistful-stone-a74.notion.site/TrufC-Documentation-138f4fffbb4980059e6bfd57a7ac89ba?pvs=4
• Uninstalling TrufC (use --remove to keep related files and only remove the binary)

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akneni/truffle/refs/heads/main/trufc/scripts/install.py -o install.py
python3 install.py purge
