Welcome to CSC 521. This course presents an in-depth study of the issues in the design, implementation, and application of programming languages. Topics will vary from basic to advanced in areas such as syntax, semantics, binding, data abstraction, exception handling, concurrency, and functional, logic, and objected-oriented programming.
Please refer to the syllabus for more information on the administrative guideline.
Important course news and announcements are posted here, so please check this README.md file regularly.
- 5/7/2017 Please watch the following videos for the next class:
- Bennett, Andrew Creating, Coding and Compiling a Compiler with LLVM
- Holewinshi, Justin. PTX Back-End: GPU Computing with LLVM
- Keep, Andy. Writing a Nanopass Compiler This is not related to LLVM but Andy does talk about multipass compiler techniques, which is essential for LLVM.
- 4/18/2017 Please watch the following videos for the next class:
- Fletcher, Angus. Emulators, Immutability, and Time Travel
- Nasser, Ramsey. Symbolic Assembly: Using Clojure to Meta-program Bytecode
Please be aware that these two talks are very clojure centric. So you might want to have a little bit of background on functional programming beforehand. Regardless, for the next class I will talk more about functional programming.
