Hi, This www.idiom.com/other.html has several interesting services, they keep a list of Free Database Systems and a list of Free compilers Looking in the old list of http://www.idiom.com/free-compilers/ I found Standford´s SUIF compiler system. I wanted to share this stuff from the README in http://suif.stanford.edu: ________________________________________________________________________ WHAT SUIF IS SUIF is a collection of programs and libraries, mostly written in C++, that allow researchers to investigate issues in scalar and parallel optimization. The SUIF distribution contains all the pieces necessary for a working compiler that will translate C or FORTRAN into either a MIPS (R3000) executable or back into C code (suitable for compiling with a native compiler). It contains passes to do a variety of transformations including parallel loop detection, parallel code generation, cache-based loop transformations, and scalar optimizations. The SUIF system will correctly compile most major benchmark suites. SUIF also provides a set of core libraries that (we hope) allow people to easily write new SUIF passes to investigate their favorite compiler research topic. WHAT SUIF IS NOT SUIF is not a production compiler. It is not suitable for replacing your native compiler. Don't even attempt to compile a kernel with it. SUIF does not have many code generators. SUIF will not generate scalar code that's as good as your native compiler (unless you use the "C" backend and actually compile with your native compiler...) If you are running a machine that is not MIPS-based, you will have to use the "C" backend and feed the result into your native C compiler (SUIF will do this automatically). SUIF is not supported software. It is distributed without warranty. We will do what we can to help you with problems, but in the end you're on your own. See the end of this file for information on mailing lists about SUIF. ________________________________________________________________________ I´ll help them (idiom) update some links because they´re a bit old... enjoy, Pedro.
