This book is a PhD thesis done by the author at the Technical University of Dresden. The thesis focuses on code generation for Synchronous Transfer Architectures (STA), which are a subclass of Digital Signal Processors (DSP). The material is divided into nine chapters and four appendices. The first three chapters form the introductory part. It contains the basics of compiler construction and code generation. Also, this part gives a clear definition of the STA model and a detailed introduction to STA code generation. The next 4 chapters represent the core of the thesis. This part deals with code generation for SIMD-VLIW STA-based processors (Single Instruction Multiple Data – Very Large Instruction Word). Three different approaches for STA code generation and code optimization are considered: a method based on integer linear programming, an extension of classical graph coloring, and a method based on greedy algorithms. In this part, a Matlab-based front-end compiler is used. Chapter 8 is dedicated to code generation for scalar STA-based processors. The framework used here is CoSy, a retargetable compiler development system developed by Associated Computer Experts in the Netherlands. The last chapter consists of conclusions and perspectives of further research. The book is a useful resource for engineers and researchers that work in digital signal processing.
