Developing a Compiler for Executing Matrix Operations Using C++

1. Introduction Matrix operations play a crucial role in scientific computing, machine learning, and big data analytics. While C++ is known for its performance and object-oriented capabilities, handling matrix logic manually can be error-prone. This project introduces a domain-specific compiler that simplifies matrix operations and leverages C++ for both backend execution and frontend development within Visual Studio Community 2022.

2. Objective This project aims to build a compiler that accepts a user-friendly matrix syntax, applies optimizations, and generates efficient C++ code for compilation and execution using grammar rules, tokenization, and three-address code.

3. Features User-Friendly DSL: High-level syntax that makes matrix programming intuitive. Comprehensive Matrix Operations: Including addition, subtraction, multiplication, transposition, inversion, and determinant. Automatic Optimization: Loop unrolling, memory management, and redundant computation elimination. Error Reporting: Syntax and runtime diagnostics with helpful feedback. Code Integration:Generated C++ code can be embedded into other projects. AI Enhancement (10%): AI modules assist with syntax correction and code optimization.

4. Design Overview 4.1 Architecture Frontend: Lexer: Tokenizes the matrix DSL. Parser: Builds the abstract syntax tree (AST). Semantic Analyzer: Validates dimension compatibility and matrix rules. Intermediate Representation (IR): Utilizes grammar and token streams to generate a structured intermediate form using three-address code. Backend: Code Generator: Transforms IR into efficient C++ code. Compiler Driver: Uses tools like MSVC to compile the final executable.

4.2 Workflow

1. User writes matrix operations in the DSL.

2. Lexer and parser create an AST.

3. AST is converted into IR with three-address code.

4. Optimizations are applied.

5. C++ code is generated from IR.

6. Final code is compiled and executed.

7. Implementation Details Syntax Example: Matrix A = [1, 2; 3, 4]; Matrix B = A * A;` Library Usage: Standard C++ libraries with optional integration of Eigen or LAPACK. Optimization Techniques: Loop fusion, unrolling, and cache-efficient memory use.

8. Tools and Technologies Languages: C++ for both frontend and backend. IDE: Visual Studio Community 2022. Parsing Tools: Flex and Bison for lexer and parser generation. Build System: Visual Studio project system or CMake. Debugger: Visual Studio debugger or GDB for generated code.

9. Benefits Simplifies matrix computations. Combines DSL ease-of-use with C++ performance. Supports research, teaching, and industrial applications.

10. Challenges Ensuring compatibility across operating systems. Balancing simplicity and functionality in the DSL. Creating robust and clear error handling.

11. Future Extensions Add support for parallel computing using OpenMP or CUDA. Extend DSL for tensor operations. Include matrix visualization tools.

12. Conclusion

This project offers a high-level matrix language compiled to efficient C++ using grammar-based parsing, tokenization, and three-address code. It simplifies development, improves performance, and incorporates lightweight AI for smart diagnostics and code suggestions—making it an ideal tool for computation-heavy domains.
