Abstract

The architecture of computers is becoming increasingly sophisticated (instruction level parallelism, multiprocessors, memory hierarchies, etc.). At the same time, applications are growing ever more complex. A3 develops methods for the analysis and optimization of programs. Our overall goal is to facilitate the development of programs and to render their execution more efficient. The tools we design may be integrated within a programming environment in order to aid users utilize their workstations more efficiently. Within a compiler environment, these tools can also automatically produce assembly code optimized for general or special purpose processors.
