@johnregehr Found another tidbit about the PlayStation 3’s superoptimizer, if you’re interested https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21733922 …
Doesn’t sound fun :(

I never played with the superoptimizer unfortunately. I can't say for certain if it was cloud hosted but if it was I could only imagine our legal department having a conniption if that's what it did. (
@mmalex might know more?) -
the only thing i saw that vaguely fits was an assembler that did some kind of brute force- but randomised search over instruction ordering & register allocation, and yes more compile time found faster runtime. people had favourite random seeds to pass it... wasnt cloud based tho
