> Optimizing Compilers for Modern Architectures: A Dependence-based


I bought this book about 6 weeks ago. For once the price in the UK
was much cheaper than the US :-)


The title is a bit misleading. It should really be called everything
there is to know about data dependency analysis.


The cases considered are all built around Fortran, which is not
surprising given the authors background. C gets a brief discussion
over a few pages.


It is readable, but also easy to put down. The sort of book you keep
on your shelf for the day that information on that xyz dependency
algorithm is needed.
