By the author of the classic 1989 monograph, Optimizing Supercompilers for Supercomputers, this book covers the knowledge and skills necessary to build a competitive, advanced compiler for parallel or high-performance computers. Starting with a review of basic terms and algorithms used-such as graphs, trees, and matrix algebra-Wolfe shares the lessons of his 20 years experience developing compiler products such as KAP, the capstone product of Kuck and Associates, Inc., of Champaign, Illinois.
