Abstract

MATLAB is a popular language for scientific computation, used by millions of students, scientists and engineers world-wide. The McLAB project aims to provide an open source compiler and virtual machine infrastructure to enable programming language, compiler and software engineering researchers to work in this important area.

McLab: an extensible compiler toolkit for MATLAB and related languages
C3S2E '10: Proceedings of the Third C* Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering

Matlab is a popular language for scientific computation. Effectively compiling Matlab presents many challenges due to the dynamic nature of the language. We present McLab, an extensible compiler toolkit for the Matlab and related languages. McLab aims to ...
Using Prolog to implement a compiler for a parallel image processing language
ICIP '95: Proceedings of the 1995 International Conference on Image Processing (Vol. 1)-Volume 1 - Volume 1

This paper describes the use of Prolog as an implementation language for a compiler for a parallel image processing language. The target machine for which code is generated is an abstract model for parallel image processing. The structure of the final ...
Surgical precision JIT compilers
PLDI '14

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic ...
