| A Flexible Compilation Infrastructure for VLIW and SIMD Architectures (2001) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| Most compiler infrastructures target existing physical architectures. This creates difficulty when trying to perform architectural research: trying to simulate the effects of adding registers to a processor might involve making changes deep inside the compiler infrastructure and writing a dedicated simulator. Making higher-level changes, such as adding a functional unit or extending data paths to handle multiple words in parallel, may be nearly impossible. | |||||||||||||||||
