SPAM

Project Intention of SPAM

SPAM is a joint research project on compiler design including the following partners:

  • Synopsys Inc., Mountain View, CA
  • Princeton University, Princeton, NJ
  • Aachen University of Technology, Aachen, Germany
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA


The project's intention is to develop a retargetable optimizing compiler for embedded processors .

For more detailed information refer to the SPAM homepage.

Role of RWTH Aachen

Research at RWTH Aachen related to the SPAM project covers the field of

  • compiler benchmarking
  • DSP-oriented language extensions to ANSI-C
  • tool support for fixed-point programming
  • compiled simulation
  • optimized code generation for DSP`s


The following members of RWTH Aachen are involved in the SPAM project:

  • H. Meyr (head of department),
  • A. Ropers,
  • S. Pees,
  • H. Keding

A joint DSP compiler project of Synopsys, Princeton University, Aachen University and the MIT
