Sisal Optimizations.

Abstract

The goal of this master's project was to provide several optimizations for the SISAL compiler being developed at Colorado State University. SISAL is a data language intended for use on a variety of multiprocessor architectures. Since SISAL is compiled into the intermediate form 1F1, which is a common intermediate form for data flow languages, this project concentrated on optimizations that are unique to the characteristics of SISAL, rather than on more traditional optimizations. In particular, the optimizations developed concentrated on making array operations more efficient by combining operations where possible and by performing 'live analysis' which would tell if data values will ever be needed again in a program.
