I am currently working on a SPARC instruction scheduler that works on
executable files. One of the advantages of working off an executable is that
the scheduler is independent of the compiler and the source code. The
scheduler is aware of the specific details of the chip set that the executable
will run on (i.e. cycle times, # of functional units). These chip specific
details can be easily changed to target a different chip set.
Question: I am told that CDC had an instruction scheduler that worked off
the executable. Does anyone out there have any information or
references concerning the CDC instruction scheduler?
