Compiling for Instruction-Level Parallelism Video Series: Advanced Topics. A lecture by B. Ramakrishna Rau. This video was recorded in March, 1994.

From University Video Communications' catalog:

"Instruction-level parallelism (ILP) is the principal architectural mechanism by which the microprocessor industry is currently maintaining the extraordinary rate of increase of microprocessor performance that we have come to expect. Both superscalar and VLIW architectures require compilers which go beyond conventional optimizing compilers by employing techniques to expose, enhance and exploit ILP. In this talk, Bob Rau discusses techniques for exposing and enhancing ILP including the single assignment form, memory disambiguation, load-store elimination, and critical path length reduction. In addition, he discusses the structure of ILP compilers and how it differs from that of conventional optimizing. "
