Abstract
The problem of designing compilers for a multiprocessing environment is approached. We show that by modeling an existing sequential compiler, we gain an understanding of the modifications necessary to transform the sequential structure into a pipeline of processes. The pipelined compiler is then evaluated through measurements and simulation. Properties of the model, a generalized Petri Net, are also discussed.Keywords
