of its wide-range capabilities and simple design. The system accepts a high-level language, particularly a
subset of ANSI-C, as its source input, and translates the code to its corresponding MIPS64 Instructions. The
system focuses on the optimisation of the MIPS64 Instructions using Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP)
techniques proposed by John Hennessy and David Patterson in the book Computer Architecture: A
Quantitative Approach (3
rd
Edition). A profiler is included to automatically check for the level of optimisation of
the code generated.
