Download or read book Reasoning About Program Transformations written by Jean-Francois Collard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text contains a detailed and current presentation of the program analyses and transformations that extract the flow of data in computer memory systems. The emphasis is on a framework for the optimization of code for imperative programs and greater computer systems efficiency. In addition, the author shows that correctness of program transformations is guaranteed by the conservation of data flow. Professionals and researchers in software engineering, computer engineering, program design analysis, and compiler design will benefit from its presentation of data-flow methods and memory optimization of compilers.
