LLVM-based ?-VEX compiler

This thesis describes the development of an LLVM-based compiler for the ?-VEX processor. The ?-VEX processor is a runtime re- configurable VLIW processor. Currently, two compilers exist that target the ?-VEX processor: a HP-VEX compiler and a GCC-based compiler. We show that both compilers have disadvantages that are very dif- ficult to fix....
