Techniques for automatic translation of programming languages are discussed. The course includes a brief survey of various techniques and formalisms that can be used for describing the syntax and semantics of programming languages, for describing abstract and concrete machine architectures, and for describing program translation and transformation. Most of the course is concerned with the construction of a compiler that will translate an algebraic language into machine code for a conventional architecture machine. Offered in alternate years.
