Compiler Design - ABM File Reader with Memory Management

Overview

This Compiler Design project, developed in association with the University at Albany, SUNY, is a comprehensive system that reads and processes stack-based ABM (Assembly-Based Language) files, using advanced techniques for efficient memory management. It handles complex ABM code, variable scope management, and ensures concurrent access to global variables through the implementation of a Memory Bus.

The inclusion of a Cache Memory system further optimizes the speed of variable access, offering a robust solution for efficient assembly programming.

Key Features

  • ABM File Reader:

    • A C-based file reader designed to interpret stack-based Assembly-Based Language (ABM) code.

  • Memory Bus:

    • Implements a Memory Bus to manage concurrent access to global variables efficiently.

  • Cache Memory System:

    • Enhances variable access speed using a Cache Memory system, optimizing the performance of assembly programming.

  • Variable Scope Management:

    • Manages variable scopes to ensure correct handling of variables during the execution of ABM code.
