You can always 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:
https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262050340/bulldog/
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.
