Project : Retargetable Compiler for C*
Institution: Indian Institute of Science, INDIA

Description and Role:
   C* is a powerful language (which is superset of C) designed for
parallel algorithms. The backend was developed which takes the 
intermediate code (which is tree) and produces the assembly code
for MIPS RISC R3000 processor. The dynamic tree pattern matching 
algorithm was used for code generation. The compiler is retargetable.
The tree translation scheme has to be specified for retargeting.
