Abstract: Under the assumption that a processor may have a multiplicity of arithmetic units, a compiler for such a processor should produce object code to take advantage of possible parallelism of operation. Most of the presently known compilation techniques are inadequate for such a processor because they produce expression structures that must be evaluated serially. A technique is presented here for compiling arithmetic expressions into structures that can be evaluated with a high degree of parallelism. The algorithm is a variant of the so-called "top-down" analysis technique, and requires only one pass of the input text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
