This article describes a new approach to compiler technology. The project in which this approach evolved demands some special properties of compilers, such as language independence and dynamically extensible and orthogonal attributes. These properties cannot be modelled in conventional compiler

forms of parallel processing, the performance of these microprocessors can vary greatly depending on the quality of the software. In particular, the quality of compilers can make an order of magnitude difference in performance. This paper presents a new generation of compiler technology that has emerged

We have implemented a prototype compiler called porch that transforms C programs into C programs supporting portable checkpoints. Portable checkpoints capture the state of a computation in a machine-independent format that allows the transfer of computations across binary incompatible machines. We

Abstract – This paper describes Target’s tool flow for the design and optimisation of application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs). Thanks to a userfriendly processor description language, an efficient retargetable C compiler, and accurate simulation and profiling tools, engineers can

This is an extended version. The bibliographical details of the original article are P. Fitzpatrick and C.Wolf: “Direct division in factor rings,” Electronic Letters 38 No. 21 (2002), pp 1253-1254. Conventional techniques for division in the polynomial factor ring F[z]/〈m 〉 or the integer ring Zn use a combination of inversion and multiplication. We present a new algorithm that computes the division directly and therefore eliminates the multiplication step. The algorithm requires 2 degree(m) (resp. 2 log 2 n) steps, each of which uses only shift and multiply-subtract operations. 1

There is a need for compiler technology that, given the source program, will generate efficient parallel codes for different architectures with minimal user involvement. Parallel computation is becoming indispensable in solving large-scale problems in science and engineering. Yet, the use

Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in compilation technology for capitalizing on instruction-level parallelism (ILP). The vast majority of ILP compilation research has been conducted in the context of generalpurpose computing, and more specifically the SPEC benchmark suite

Abstract. Compiler technology course is a very important compulsory basic course in professional computer education, and it is also an important branch in the computer system software. But the value of compiler’s existence as a classic core curriculum of computer science is to be questioned

Historically, the principal achievement of compiler technology has been to make it possible to program in a high-level, machine-independent style. The absence of compiler technology to provide such a style for parallel computers is the main reason these systems have not found widespread acceptance

This paper describes the design of a High Performance Fortran (HPF/Fortran 90D) compiler, a source-to-source translator for distributed memory systems. HPF is a data parallel language with compiler directives to enable users to specify data alignment and distributions. A systematic methodology
