Introduction

This document describes Simple-SUIF, a compiler system for real languages and machines that is simple enough for use in a compiler course. Simple-SUIF provides a simplified interface to the full SUIF compiler system which has been developed by the compiler research group at Stanford. Although it is not a production-quality compiler, SUIF runs on most UNIX systems, is capable of handling large programs written in ANSI C and FORTRAN 77, and can generate code for MIPS processors, which are used in DECstations and SGI workstations.
