| Abstract | We describe the compilation of the non-strict, implicitly parallel language pH to symmetric multipro-cessors (SMPs) in several steps. We introduce the S calculus as a robust foundation for the semantics of pH. Next, we deene a shared-memory threaded abstract machine (SMT) that captures the essence of our compilation target, a modern SMP. Finally, we describe a complete syntax directed translation of S to SMT instructions. The paper makes three important contributions: it is the rst implementation of pH based on direct semantics of barriers; second, in contrast to earlier work, the multithreaded code generated uses suspensive threads; and third, the compilation rules generate code from S source code directly, without resorting to intermediate dataaow-style graphs. |
