The Result of the Compiler Construction Competition
The compilers were tested on a
large
collection of programs.
Correctness as well as speed of Knapsack.hun for the
different groups can be seen below.
Note that marks in the tables do not necessarily
indicate an error situation. We have also used these
tests to see which run-time errors the groups have decided to
catch, and to get a feel for decisions regarding
evaluation orders etc.
Thus, some of the markings indicate indisputable errors
whereas others more have the character of decisions
reflecting matters of opinion.
So, some markings have not been counted as errors, and
among the ones which have been counted as errors,
some are more serious than others.
Also note that features other than correctness and speed have also been
taking into account.
The winners
The lecturer and teaching assistant of the course have together evaluated the compilers
and we have agreed to announce the following group as
winner of the competition:
| Group 4
|
|
| Alexei Mihalchuk
|
|
| Kenneth A. Knudsen
|
|
| Lars Andersen
|
|
|
|
|
The decision was based on a perfect test score with regards to
correctness and very fast code on the announced speed test.
Honorary Award
This does not happen every year, but we have this year decided to grant an
honorary award. The compiler of this group did very well on correctness
and contained advanced garbage collection. In addition, the work was carried
out by one person.
The recipient of the honorary award is the following group:
