Topics in Compilers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we evaluate a potential curriculum to be used in upcoming semesters of CMSC430 (Compilers). We present the major material covered in chronological order, and the corresponding assignments. Each of the following sections begins with a general overview of the material covered. A subsection is devoted to teaching methods or other sticking points in the material that may require special attention, although when appropriate smaller recommendations may appear mixed with the explanations of the material covered. Another subsection details the assignment chosen to accompany the material. The choice of supporting techonologies is also evaluated.

متن کاملTheme Creation for Digital Collections
This paper presents an approach for integrating multiple sources of semantics for the creating metadata. A new framework is proposed to define topics and themes with both manually and automatically generated terms. The automatically generated terms include: terms from a semantic analysis of the collections and terms from previous user’s queries. An interface is developed to facilitate the creat...
متن کاملUsing the SGI Pro64 Open Source Compiler Infra-Structure for Teaching and Research
Modern optimizing compilers are complex programs that require from tens to hundreds of people-years to be developed. Thus professors must use third-party compiler infra-structures to introduce students to compiler optimizations. Until recently only infra-structures developed at universities, research institutes, or by GNU were widely available for teaching. However, in May 2000, SGI made public...
متن کاملTopics in code generation and register allocation
This paper discusses some questions about register allocation and code generation in optimizing compilers. The context of the research is the PQCC (Production Quality Compiler-Compiler) project. The questions discussed include fundamental questions of compiler structure, that is, questions of the feasibility and correctness of the approach taken by the project. I also report on less fundamental...
متن کاملA Modern Approach to Teaching Computer Translation
—In the Computer Science curriculum, the compilers course is dying. It has been relegated to a "specialized, optional" role in the ACM 2001 curriculum. However, some fundamental topics are covered only in that course, such as syntax analysis, computer translation with applications outside compilation, and language specification mechanisms such as regular expressions. In this paper, we present t...
متن کاملMINI-DB: Demystifying the Inner Workings of Database Systems
As computer science continues to move toward a more pragmatic market driven discipline, some of the traditional core topics in computing have become less popular. Atrisk topics include compilers, file organizations, and operating systems. Viewed collectively, it appears that courses that either deal with the internal working of computers or courses that require system programming are being syst...
