A review of previous array Pascals leads on to a description the Glasgow Pascal compiler. The compiler is an ISO-Pascal superset with semantic extensions to translate data parallel statements to run on multiple SIMD cores. An appendix is given which includes demonstrations of the tool.
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are based on techniques inspired by some aspects of natural science such as inheritance, reproduction and mutation, and they are used as optimization technique for searching large solution spaces. In computer science, for example, they could be used in data sorting and searching, circuit design and to improve application performance the quality of designed tools such as code generation. This paper looks at the possibility of using genetic algorithms to ameliorate the automatic construction of code generators. Experimental evidence is provided that the use of such algorithms can improve the quality of automatically constructed code generators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
