- a compiler system that could is:

- David W. Wall "Global register allocation at link-time"
-
- Proceedings og the SIGPLAN 86 Symposium on Compiler Construction
- pp. 264-275. Published as SIGPLAN Notices 21(7),July 1986. Also
- available as WRL Research Report 86/3.

- and/or
-
- David W. Wall "Register Windows versus Register Allocation"
-
- Proceedings og the SIGPLAN 88 Conference on Programming Language
- Design and Implementation, pp. 67-78.
