RUI: The Feedback Compiler - Useful Information from the Backend of a Compiler

这个项目开发并评估了一个反馈编译器。大多数传统编译器只从编译器的前端向用户提供反馈。反馈编译器提供来自编译器前端和后端的反馈。反馈编译器对学生和实践程序员都有帮助。学生程序员对程序员的角色和编译器的角色有了明确的理解。实践程序员从编译器执行的机器特定优化的反馈中受益。反馈还有助于复杂程序的调试。反馈编译器帮助程序员学习在新的计算机系统上编写高效的程序。

This project develops and evaluates a feedback compiler. Most of the traditional compilers provide feedback to the user only from the front-end of the compiler. The feedback compiler provides feedback both from the front-end and back-end of the compiler. The feedback compiler assists both students and practicing programmers. The student programmers gain a clear understanding about the role of a programmer and the role of a compiler. The practicing programmer benefits from the feedback on the machine specific optimizations performed by the compiler. The feedback also aids in the debugging of complex programs. The feedback compiler helps the programmers learn to write efficient programs on a new computer system.
