Talk Title: Improving Compiler Construction Using Formal Methods
Talk Abstract: As programming languages are becoming more high-level to improve programmers' efficiency, the processors, in contrast, are moving towards specialization. The role of compilers is becoming crucial in bridging the ever-increasing gap between these two. We want compilers that are correct and generate high-quality code. Many researchers and developers invested efforts in solving these problems, but without making direct use of formal methods. In this talk, Jubi will describe how formal-methods-based techniques can help compiler developers create better static analyses, generate an automatic peephole optimizer for a compiler, and thus be used to improve overall compiler construction.
