Editing Static single-assignment form (section)

=== Research and abandoned ===

* The ETH [[Oberon-2]] compiler was one of the first public projects to incorporate "GSA", a variant of SSA.
* The [[Open64]] compiler used SSA form in its global scalar optimizer, though the code is brought into SSA form before and taken out of SSA form afterwards. Open64 uses extensions to SSA form to represent memory in SSA form as well as scalar values.
* In 2002, [http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/721276.html researchers modified] IBM's JikesRVM (named Jalapeño at the time) to run both standard Java [[bytecode]] and a typesafe SSA ([[SafeTSA]]) bytecode class files, and demonstrated significant performance benefits to using the SSA bytecode.
* [http://jackcc.sf.net jackcc] is an open-source compiler for the academic instruction set Jackal 3.0. It uses a simple 3-operand code with SSA for its intermediate representation. As an interesting variant, it replaces Φ functions with a so-called SAME instruction, which instructs the register allocator to place the two live ranges into the same physical register.
* The Illinois Concert Compiler circa 1994<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-csag.ucsd.edu/projects/concert.html|title=Illinois Concert Project|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313140417/http://www-csag.ucsd.edu/projects/concert.html|archive-date=2014-03-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> used a variant of SSA called SSU (Static Single Use) which renames each variable when it is assigned a value, and in each conditional context in which that variable is used; essentially the static single information form mentioned above. The SSU form is documented in [http://www-csag.ucsd.edu/papers/jplevyak-thesis.ps John Plevyak's Ph.D Thesis].
* The COINS compiler uses SSA form optimizations as explained [https://web.archive.org/web/20040531024854/http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~sassa/coins-www-ssa/english/ here].
* Reservoir Labs' R-Stream compiler supports non-SSA (quad list), SSA and SSI (Static Single Information<ref>{{cite tech report |url=https://cscott.net/Publications/ssi.pdf |title=Static Single Information Form |last1=Ananian |first1=C.

* Although not a compiler, the [http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/ Boomerang] decompiler uses SSA form in its internal representation. SSA is used to simplify expression propagation, identifying parameters and returns, preservation analysis, and more.
* [[DotGNU]] Portable.NET used SSA in its JIT compiler.
