      ROCKET SCIENCE AT MTU--BUILDING A
    COMPILER RETARGETABLE FOR INSTRUCTION-
         LEVEL PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES

   Given the inclusion of instruction-level parallelism 
 (ILP) into modern computer designs and the ever-shortening 
 time to market for computers, a retargetable compiler
 capable of generating optimized code for a broad range of
 ILP architectures should be a useful tool. This talk will 
 focus on the Rocket project, an attempt to build such a 
 retargetable ILP compiler.

   In addition to giving a brief overview of Rocket's goals 
 and code generation strategies, we will investigate design 
 decisions faced when building such a retargetable compiler, 
 classify optimizations based upon their degree of architec-
 tural dependence, and evaluate design decisions made in the 
 Rocket compiler.
