CS618 Program Analysis (2016-17 Ist Semester, IIT Bombay)



This course aims to teach topics in program analysis and compiler optimizations.


Code of Ethics

Any report/program/assignment you submit must clearly distinguish your contribution from others (webpages, softwares, report, discussions with other students). The penalty for copying in any form will be severe.


Announcements

Important: All emails either to the instructor or the TAs should begin with subject line "[CS618]" -- without any spaces in the course code (and without quotes). Email not complying to this rule will NOT be entertained.


Topics Covered and Slides

The slides are not suitable for taking prints as there is a lot of redundancy due to overlays. Use handouts if you really need a print.

--: Reading Assignment

Assignments

There will be short assignments to give you a chance to apply the lecture material. Assignments will have some written and some programming tasks.

Thanks to TAs(Binapani Beria, Sushmita Nikose ) for the solutions to the assignments. ******

Course Project

The course project gives you a chance to explore a specific area of compiler implementation in more depth. You will be required to implement some compiler feature, and perform an experimental evaluation of your implementation. You may do your implementation within any freely-available compiler infrastructure (e.g. LLVM, gcc, Soot, etc.)

You will report on your project in a paper in the style of a research paper (approx. 10 pages), and give a presentation/demo of your project to the class. LaTeX and MS Word templates for the paper format are available from SIGPLAN.

Important: Use of git version control system on bitbucket is required for programming assignments and project.


Course Outline

The course will mainly cover topics from the following list (not necessarily in the same order). Not all topics listed below will be covered, and depending on class feedback, new topics may be added.
