Well some of the authors of the trace scheduling paper from Multiflow, Geoff Lowney, and Bob Nix, wound up at Digital in the early 90’s.  Geoff is now an Intel Fellow, still doing compilers.

I happened upon https://old.gustavobarbieri.com.br/trabalhos-universidade/mc722/lowney92multiflow.pdf and I am curious as to whether any of the original Multiflow compilers survive.  I had never heard of them before now, but the fact that they were licensed to so many influential companies makes me think that there might be folks on this list who know of its history.
