A study of compiler techniques for multiple targets in compiler infrastructures
Abstract
Compilers are critical for embedded systems and high performance computing. A compiler infrastructure provides an infrastructure for rapid development of high quality compilers. Based on main components of compiler infrastructures, this paper reviews representative compiler infrastructure products, and summarizes their features. It focuses on an insight analysis of the key techniques for building the compiler back ends, and presents our probes into compiler infrastructures for typical issues.
