Abstract :
This work describes extending of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure with the new backend support for microMIPS, which is an architecture from MIPS family of architectures. New backend consists of 16- and 32-bit instructions, out of which 180 of 32-bit instructions are recoded MIPS32 instructions, and 14 of 32-bit instructions are new microMIPS instructions. There are the 39 highly optimized 16-bit instructions.
