Scalar Compiler Work from Rice

Department of Computer Science
Rice University
Houston, Texas, USA

The scalar compiler group at Rice, led by Keith Cooper with Devika Subramanian and Linda Torczon, works on a variety of problems related to improving the performance of uniprocessor code. LACSI has provided support for work on a variety of performance-related problems. It has also supported the group's work on adaptive compilation.
