This book precisely formulates and simplifies the presentation of
Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) compilation techniques. It uniquely
offers consistent and uniform descriptions of the code transformations
involved. Due to the ubiquitous nature of ILP in virtually every
processor built today, from general purpose CPUs to application-specific
and embedded processors, this book is useful to the student, the
practitioner and also the researcher of advanced compilation techniques.
With an emphasis on fine-grain instruction level parallelism, this book
will also prove interesting to researchers and students of parallelism
at large, in as much as the techniques described yield insights that go
beyond superscalar and VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) machines
compilation and are more widely applicable to optimizing compilers in
general. ILP techniques have found wide and crucial application in
Design Automation, where they have been used extensively in the
optimization of performance as well as area and power minimization of
computer designs.
