Welcome to the mescal Forum.

Compiler infrastructure evaluation

During the past two months, we have closely studied several compiler infrastructures for potential use in the Mescal research project. The primary aspects of these infrastructures that we have analyzed are coding style and available data structures and algorithms. This forum topic catalogs these evaluations.

Architecture paper summaries

Summaries for architecture-related research papers.

Compiler paper summaries

Summaries for compiler-related research papers.

Models of computation

Discussion of models of computation, with the context of providing a programmer's model and exporting elements of the architecture to the programmer.

Network design drivers

This topic describes a set of interesting applications in the area of networking devices. The design of these devices must be adaptable to evolving standards, suggesting a software solution. Yet performance constraints are difficult to meet on a general-purpose platform. These constraints provide a compelling design driver for the Mescal project.

Presentations

All MESCAL presentations and shared presentation resources.
