ABSTRACT

A highly optimizing Scheme compiler called HARE is presented. A combination of several optimization techniques allows for the generation of very efficient code. Easy portability of the compiler has been achieved through the use of a virtual machine as a target for code generation. The compiler will be used as a test-bed for fine-tuning the instruction set of a symbolic architecture, the S-Machine.
