Compilers at the UW

• Benchmarks
• Debugging
• Implementation techniques -- techniques for implementing both conventional and novel programming languages.
• Instruction-level parallelism -- compiler techniques for exploiting ILP
• Interpreters and simulators -- implemented using compilers and compiler techniques.
• Language design
• Multiple processors -- compiling for machines with multiple processors, both shared-memory multiprocessors and distributed-memory multicomputers.
• Profiling and tracing -- use compiler techniques to improve profiling and tracing, use profiles to improve compilation.
• Register allocation
• Runtime code generation -- introducing new code into a running program.
• Synchronization -- how it behaves and how to implement it.
• Threads and multithreading runtime systems for multithreading.
