Dr. Cooper Ph.D., Professor, Dept. of Computer Science at Rice University, is the leader of the Massively Scalar Compiler Project at Rice, which investigates issues relating to optimization and code generation for modern machines. He is also a member of the Center for High Performance Software Research, the Computer and Information Technology Institute, and the Center for Multimedia Communication -- all at Rice. He teaches courses in Compiler Construction at the undergraduate and graduate level. Linda Torczon is a principal investigator on the Massively Scalar Compiler Project at Rice University, and the Grid Application Development Software Project sponsored by the next Generation Software program of the National Science Foundation. She also serves as the executive director of HiPerSoft and of the Los Alamos Computer Science Institute. Her research interests include code generation, interprocedural dataflow analysis and optimization, and programming environments.
"Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon are leading compilers researchers
who have also built several state-of-the-art compilers. This book
adeptly spans both worlds, by explaining both time-tested
techniques and new algorithms, and by providing practical advice on
engineering and constructing a compiler. Engineering a Compiler is
a rich survey and exposition of the important techniques necessary
to build a modern compiler."--Jim Larus, Microsoft Research
"The book is well written, and well supported with diagrams,
tables, and illustrative examples. It is a suitable textbook for
use in a compilers course at the undergraduate or graduate level,
where the primary focus of the course is code optimization."--ACM’s

"This book is a wealth of useful information, prepared
didactically, with many helpful hints, historical indications, and
suggestions for further reading. It is a helpful working book for
undergraduate and intermediate-level students, written by authors
with an excellent professional and teaching background. An engineer
will use the book as a general reference. For special topics, an
ambitious reader will consult more recent publications in the
subject area."--ACM’s Computing Reviews.com
