You are correct. I had (and read !), that book, but I had obviously
forgotten the author. I later worked with someone who also had Josh
Fisher as his advisor, so that's where my lossy memory name substitution
came from. Thank you for the correction !
I enjoyed that book when I read it.

read Josh Fisher's book on the "Bulldog" compiler, I
believe he did this work at Yale.
Are you thinking of John Ellis’s thesis:
Bulldog: A Compiler for VLIW Architectures
John R. Ellis
February 1985
http://www.cs.yale.edu/publications/techreports/tr364.pdf
Fisher was Ellis’s advisor. The thesis was also published in ACM’s
Doctoral Dissertation Award:

I believe Ellis still has a tape with his thesis software on it, but I
don’t know if he’s been able to read it.
