hamc progress

• Expansion of opcodes. 90
• Generate wiring consume/checking.
• Generate I/O interfacing. 90
• Generate basic scheduling code.
• Make easy to use with the Renesas tools, i.e.
  Windows executable.

5
Todo - short term

• Complete Renesas version.
• Gather some initial results comparing hamc, hami,
  and the hume interpreter.
• What to use as benchmark programs?
• Profile hamc implementation.
• Write a report/paper?

6
Todo - long term

• Boxes
• Phamc to provide type info for ham opcodes.
• Specialization of code.
• Wires
• Reuse of wire values/heaps.
• Foreign Language Interface.
• Scheduling improvements.
• Alternatives to naïve opcode expansion.
• Using more info from various analyses.
