    ABSTRACT:: This paper discusses the development of compilation
               strategies for DEL architectures and tools to assist in the
               evaluation of their efficiency. Compilation is divided into a
               series of independent simpler problems. To explore
               optimization of code for DEL compilers, two intermediate
               representations are employed. One of these representations is
               at a lower level than target machine instructions.
               Machine-independent optimization is performed on this
               intermediate representation. The other intermediate
               representation has been specifically designed for compiler
               retargetability It is at a higher level than the target
               machine. Target code generation is performed by reverse
               synthesis followed by attributed parsing. This technique
               demonstrates the feasibility of using automated table-driven
               code generation techniques for inflexible architectures.
