The Design of an Optimizing Compiler,
Abstract
There are important classes of programs which must be highly efficient on a particular computer, independent of how fast that computer may be; systems programs are one such class. In order to be able to write these programs in a higher-level language and accrue the benefits associated with the use of such languages, there must be compilers which will produce highly efficient representations of these programs. The paper describes the design and implementation of a highly optimizing compiler for the BLISS language. A notational scheme is described in terms of which an overview of the compiler is presented. The logical phases of the compiler are described in some detail.
