SSA: GCC and old memories
Last week I learned that GCC 3.5 is going to have an SSA based optimizer. Apparently this is already improving both the code quality and compile time performance of GCC. Another reason that this is an interesting development is that there have been a large number of compiler optimization papers written using SSA as the representation used by the algorithm. I hope that this will make it easier to include these optimizations in GCC.

I learned about SSA form back when I was a graduate student, from Ken Zadeck, who was then on the faculty at Brown, and co-author of some of the original SSA papers. As I was writing this post, I discovered that Ken is at NaturalBridge, a company making a high performance JVM, and that apparently, he posts to the gcc mailing lists. Blogging is really taking me back to revisit my history. Quite odd.
