CSE322 Compiler

Course Description

Welcome to CSE322 Compiler! 🐉 Can you imagine programming without a compiler? No way. This implies the importance of compilers in computer engineering. This course will teach you the basic concepts of compilers from front-end compilation to back-end compilation. Additionally, you will have a chance to implement a tiny compiler in this course.

Time & Location

Tuesday 10:30-11:45 @ College of Electronics Information and Applied Science B05
Thursday 10:30 -11:45 @ College of Electronics Information and Applied Science B05

Objectives

Learn how compilers translate a program
Understand the role of compilers
Know the basic algorithms used in modern compilers

Structure

This course consists of three parts:

Lecture will be given by the instructor, covering the core concepts of compilers in depth.
Exercise will be conducted before midterm and final exams where sample questions are shared and discussed with students.
Assignment will be released at the end of a corresponding part where students will be asked to complete a given code. The details of each assignment will be given at the time of its release.
