Multiflow Documentation

This page contains documentation on the Multiflow compiler.

Our contact for Multiflow is Ben Cutler of Equator Technologies (cutler@equator.com). Before contacting him, check with Matthai (matthai@cs) and/or Jack (jlo@cs) first. If you want a hardcopy of "The Multiflow Trace Scheduling Compiler" paper, the README, the IL-description paper, or some Equator slides, Brian has a set in his office (C115). An Alpha AXP Architecture Reference Manual is also in that office. We should have a second copy floating around, too.

We have a Multiflow-C Emacs mode now. Just add the following line to your .emacs file and add /afs/cs/project/dyncomp/bin to your load path.

(autoload 'c++-mode "mflow-c-mode" "Multiflow Editing Mode" t)
