title: Interesting Compiler Projects
body: <p>I am looking at a semester long project in compilers that could also evolve into my graduate thesis. I do not have much experience in this field (I have written a small "translator" for Pascal as part of my undergraduate work) --- I have been more into Machine Learning, and AI. The idea is to take this up as a challenge, and learn something in the process.</p>
  
  <p>I did have a look at: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/183882/interesting-compiler-projects">Interesting compiler projects</a> , but most of the ideas seem outdated.</p>
  
  <p>The same is also true of the LLVM Open Projects page --- <a href="http://llvm.org/OpenProjects.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://llvm.org/OpenProjects.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Since I will have a semester to work on it, I am aiming for something slightly significant. I would like to work broadly on optimisations, or parallelisation. What might be an interesting thing to work on?</p>
