A much easier to find reference is:


H. Emmelmann, F.-W Schro"er & R. Landwehr:
BEG - A Generator for Efficient Back Ends
SIGPLAN '89 PLDI conf., Portland, Or.
SIGPLAN Notices 24, 7 (July 1989), pp. 227-237


BEG is a tool good enough for production use but, as many of its competitors,
it concentrates on instruction scheduling and is weak on other issues
(register allocation, instruction scheduling, peephole optimization, etc.).


At INRIA we are working on Pagode, with the explicit aim of producing
subprograms performing all of the above tasks from a single, easy-to-write
machine description. However we're still far from our goal... For more
information, get in touch with Monique Mazaud (Monique.Mazaud@inria.fr).
