This is a hands-on course about implementing programming languages. It covers intermediate representations, classic optimization, runtime systems, and more advanced techniques such as parallelization, just-in-time compilation, and garbage collection. Course work consists of reading and discussing both classic and modern research papers and implementation projects based on the LLVM compiler infrastructure.
