The PL.8 compiler project was certainly a valuable effort. The
register allocation strategy, in particular has been widely used in
various forms. However, very little has been published concerning
instruction scheduling issues in the PL.8 project. If anyone knows of
papers discussing scheduling issues for a PL.8 target to a machine
with multiple functional units and floating point (e.g. Motorola
88000), I would certainly be interested in hearing about it.
