Learning outcomes |
• Understand the contribution of compilers to the reliability of software systems;
• Understand the different aspects of programming languages through their compilation;
• Understand the mechanisms underlying compilation: the translation from one language to another, its optimization and the functionality of the different phases;
• Understand the relationship among high-level language, intermediate representation, analysis and optimization;
• Understand the process of generating code for modern computer architectures, including virtual machines;
• Implement a compiler for a realistic programming language or extend an existing one;
• Select modern tools to implement parts of compilers and interpret their functionality; and
• Communicate the results obtained clearly and precisely, using a technical report.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
For students to acquire the necessary skills, the following are planned:
• 2h/week of lectures (TE) for oral presentation of theoretical concepts, methods and algorithms, also using the white-board, discussion of ideas with students and presentation of slides;
• 2h/week of practical-laboratory classes (PL), in which the student will apply and test the concepts, methods and algorithms presented in the theoretical classes, through laboratory guides that the students perform on the computers;
