Compiler Design Course
This course provides hands-on experience in designing and optimizing compilers, focusing on SSA-style intermediate representations, static semantics, control flow translation, and applying optimization passes like constant folding and dead code elimination, with comparisons to LLVM and GCC.

What will I learn?
This concise Compiler Design Course walks you through building and optimizing a clean SSA-style intermediate representation. You will define a small language grammar, enforce static semantics and type rules, translate control flow into IR, and manually lower a sample function. Then you apply real optimization passes like constant folding, dead code elimination, loop optimizations, and compare your IR to LLVM and GCC for practical insight.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design SSA-style IR: build clean, typed three-address code fast.
- Implement classic optimizations: fold constants, kill dead code, hoist loops.
- Translate control flow to IR: blocks, branches, loops, and phi nodes.
- Enforce static semantics: precise type checks, scopes, and diagnostics.
- Connect MiniSys IR to LLVM-style backends for real-world performance.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...

I like how the lessons get straight to the point and how I can switch chapters and skip content I don't need.
