Abstract. Source code transformations are a very effective method of parallelizing and improving the efficiency of programs. Unfortunately most compiler systems require implementing separate (sub-)programs for each transformation. This paper describes a different approach. We designed and implemented a fully programmable C code transformation engine, which can be programmed by means of a powerful and easy to use transformation language. Its possible applications range from coarse-grain parallelism exploitation to optimizers for multimedia instruction sets.
