While compilers for high-level programming languages are large complex software systems, they have particular characteristics that differentiate them from other software systems. Their functionality is almost completely well-defined – ideally there exist complete precise descriptions of the source and target languages. Additional...

Divided into three separate sections, C & Data Structures covers C programming, as well as the implementation of data structures and an analysis of advanced data structure problems. Beginning with the basic concepts of the C language (including the operators, control structures, and functions), the book progresses to show these...

The deluge of data observed throughout research and industry has turned the analysis of the resulting information into the primary limiting factor for the rapid progress of science, engineering, and medicine. The field of visualization strives to tackle this data analysis challenge by devising visual representations that afford users an...

This textbook describes all phases of a compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It includes good coverage of current techniques in code generation and register...

In the last few years, changes have had a profound influence on the problems addressed by compiler designers. First, the proliferation in machine architectures has necessitated the fine-tuning of compiler back ends to exploit features such as multiple memory banks, pipelines and clustered architectures. These features provide potential for...
