Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of technology in conjunction with engineers at Adobe have developed a program that optimizes the outdated code is significantly faster than a team of programmers. Helium is able to update the code and 400-500% increase in performance. Scientists say that the program cope with the software update for the day, what programmers would spend 3 months.

According to Adobe Amarasinha, Professor at MIT, the development will help the it companies to solve the "problem per billion, which is the obsolescence of the product code and its optimization for modern hardware. With such a problem encountered by experts from Adobe, whose Photoshop turns 25 years old. Company every few years have to tell off on updating the code of a huge team of programmers.

as a result of the work of researchers Helium was able to update and optimize the code some Photoshop filters, speeding up their work by 75%. In less optimized programs by type IrfanView was able to accelerate processes in 400-500%, leading figures portal MIT news.
