The authors of this project seem to have laid the foundation
stone for most of the recent architectures and compilers. This can
be
seen from the following observations
1. Releiving most of the work from hardware and pushing it to software,
runtime to compile time.
2. Eager execution is equivalent to speculation
3. The context register matrix is the hardware analog of the machine
description. The interesting part is that they used machine description
to run simulations for hardware design, but now machine description
is a
part of the compiler itself.
4. The IFP is a register renaming concept used in software pipelining.
5. Conditional scheduling control is equivalent to predicated execution.
