Chip-design startup BoolSi Inc. today announced it has raised $6 million in seed funding to build a compiler that turns ordinary software into custom hardware, doing away with the years of ...

This project implements a custom LLVM analysis pass that statically analyses LLVM IR (Intermediate Representation) and computes weighted instruction frequency for every function and basic block.

Throught this course you will be working on big software projects and an important part of any large project is documentation. Documentation is especially important in group projects, like many of the ...

In 1952, Grace Hopper sat in front of a UNIVAC I and got tired of copying subroutine addresses by hand. Programmers at the time wrote raw machine code, looked up memory locations from a paper library, ...

When you write some code and put it on a spacecraft headed into the far reaches of space, you need to it work, no matter what. Mistakes can mean loss of mission or even loss of life. In 2006, Gerard ...

Compilers often translate source code for a high-level language, such as C++, to object code for the current computer architecture, such as Intel x64. The object modules produced from multiple ...

The two-year effort to decompile Super Mario 64 wasn’t started with a Windows executable in mind. Instead, it was motivated primarily by speedrunners who wanted “to understand the game’s code better ...
