Baker Kearfott" Subject: Lecture: Compile-time optimization of interval expressions Special Seminar Tuesday 10th June, 1997 10.00 - 11.00 a.m. Room 051, Oxford University Computing Laboratory Wolfson Building, Parks Road, Oxford Compile-time Optimization of Point and Interval Expressions Bill Walster (Sun Engineering, US) Abstract. The speed *and* sharpness of interval programs can be significantly increased by applying mathematical simplifications and other transformations at compile-time. Both the theoretical justification and the practical results needed to successfully apply the desired transformations are presented. This seminar could be of general interest both to computer scientists and to numerical analysts. Bill will be happy to stay on for a while after the seminar and discuss the topic in more detail. --------------------------------------------------------------- R.
