   4. Title: Wizard++: An Interprocedural Analysis System

   5. Target Audience: honours students and above

   6. Abstract: 
        In this seminar, we give a progress report on the parallel
        compiler project started at the ANU in 1994. The goal of the
        project  is to build a research infrastructure for
        parallelizing compiler technology research in Australia.
        The system is based on Sage++, a general
        Fortran front-end from University of Indiana, USA. We have
        been extending Sage++ with the following interprocedural
        analysis modules: call graph analysis, alias analysis,
        interprocedural MOD/REF analysis, control flow analysis,
        control dependence analysis, use-def and def-use chains analysis,
        interprocedural constant propagation, array regular section
        analysis. The new system called Wizard++ also includes an
        easy-to-use interface to access all the interprocedural
        information as well as the mechanism to save (load) 
        the interprocedural database of programs in files.

        In this talk, we present the design and implementation of  
        basic modules of Wizard++, their functionality and the program
        database interface.

   7. Biography:

       Peiyi Tang joined the Department of Computer Science at the
       Australian National University (ANU) shortly after he
       graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
       (UIUC) with a PhD in computer science in 1988.
       He stayed in the ANU until he moved to the University of
       Southern Queensland in late 1994. 

       Dr Tang has been a member of the program committee
       (Software) of The ACM International Conference on
       Supercomputing (ICS) since 1995. His research interest is in 
       parallelizing compiler technology for high-performance computing.
