- I'm planning on doing some research in optimization and code generation
- next quarter. One of the topics I'm interested in is machine
- descriptions--some vanilla way to describe the architecture of a machine
- for purposes of code generation. (Numbers of registers, addressing modes,
- etc.)
-
- I'd appreciate pointers to any previous work--textbooks, papers, existing
- code, etc.

- [There have been lots of architecture description languages over the years.
- Whether any of them can be used to mechanically generate a compiler is
- another question. I suspect they'd be more useful for validation. -John]
