Apt Compiler Toolkit User Manual, George K. Thiruvathukal, Ufuk Verun

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The Apt Compiler Toolkit was designed to address the need for structured, efficient, portable, and capable tools to prototype language translators and compilers. In the current release of the toolkit tools are available for the generation of scanners, parsers, and data structures. A robust library of functions is supplied with the toolkit which includes support for the scanner, the parser, abstract data types (which are commonly used in language translators/compilers), and string functions.


A Simulation Of Demand-Driven Dataflow: Translation From Lucid Into Mdc Language, George K. Thiruvathukal, Thomas W. Christopher Jan 1991

A Simulation Of Demand-Driven Dataflow: Translation From Lucid Into Mdc Language, George K. Thiruvathukal, Thomas W. Christopher

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Message Driven Computation (MDC) is a model of computation with which they have been experimenting at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The authors aim to prove the viability of MDC in practice for the expression of parallel algorithms and the implementation of functional and dataflow programming languages. In the paper they discuss their implementation of the Lucid programming language in MDC. The discussion presents a subset of Lucid which illustrates the principles of Lucid, Message Driven Computing, and the translation into and the interpretation of dataflow graphs.
