> Parallel Compilers/Parsers are nice but >how complicated/how easy to debug? how about extensibility etc? Cocke-Kasami-Younger, Valiant, Earley, Graham-Harrison-Ruzzo. Even simpler than the serial LL(k) and LR(k). I haven't tried to vectorise/parallelise them, nor do I know if anybody else has--after all we all know Parallel Compilers/Parsers are impossible. > So compilers >don't run on the CM.. do they run in the Cray or Convex Vector Units? Thats >where alot of the performance comes from... Perhaps you have never heard of FTN200's Extended Basic Block Optimiser (Kenner's EBBO)? 205 rather than Cray or Convex so I guess it doesn't count. -- Her somber eyes consider all ||/+\==/+\|| Steven Ryan that loom and tower, large and tall.||\=/++\=/|| ...!uunet!ingr!apd!smryan Her everyday is always new ||/=\++/=\||...!{apple|pyramid}!garth!smryan and fills her eyes of frail blue. ||\+/==\+/|| 2400 Geng Road, Palo Alto, CA
