Description
As computing has changed, so has the role of both the compiler and the compiler writer. The proliferation of processors, environments, and constraints demands an equally large number of compilers. To adapt, compiler writers retarget code generators, add optimizations, and work on issues such as code space or power consumption. Engineering a Compiler re-balances the curriculum for an introductory course in compiler construction to reflect the issues that arise in today's practice. Authors Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon convey both the art and the science of compiler construction and show best practice algorithms for the major problems inside a compiler.

Audience
Undergraduate Computer Science and Computer Engineering majors
