Is there any chance you can point out some other Rice alumni that come to mind for their communication skills of engineering topics?

- rayiner 5y agoThere are some great, readable papers on compiler design from Keith Cooper, Ken Kennedy, and Linda Torczon's Compiler Group: https://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/compilers/index.html https://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/compilers/index.html. Preston Briggs came out of that group, and did his PhD thesis on register allocation via graph coloring, one of the early papers on that technique: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/380C/lecs/briggs-thesis-1992.pdf https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/380C/lecs/briggs-th.... That's a great, very readable paper. Cooper & Simpson's paper on SCC-based value numbering is one of the more readable works on the subject: https://www.cs.rice.edu/~keith/Promo/CRPC-TR95636.pdf.gz https://www.cs.rice.edu/~keith/Promo/CRPC-TR95636.pdf.gz Vikram Adve worked there. He was the PhD advisor to Chris Lattner, who developed LLVM.
