Course plan
Lectures
This is an advanced seminar, based on writing reviews for
technical papers taken from recent compiler conferences
and student presentations.
There is one lecture on reviewing of technical papers.
Recommended for
Graduate (ECSEL, CUGS, ...) students interested in the areas of compilers,
computer architecture, parallel processing,
or embedded systems.
The course was last given
HT1/2003.
Goals
The seminar gives insights into currently hot topics in compiler
technology by taking up recent research papers from high-end conferences (PLDI,
POPL, CC, CGO, LCTES, SCOPES, ...).
A secondary goal is to practise presentations, opposition, and
writing reviews of such papers for an imaginary journal on compilers
and programming languages.
Prerequisites
Advanced Compiler Construction (FDA001) or equivalent background knowledge.
Organization
Student presentations with opposition and discussion.
Written summaries.
Written reviews of recent research papers, and written feedback
for reviews written by other participants, organized
via email.
The number of participants is limited to about 16.

The list of papers will be announced 2 weeks before
the course starts.
