 \title{An Optimizing Compiler for Low-Level Floating Point Operations}

 

 \author{Robert McIntyre}

 % If you wish to list your previous degrees on the cover page, use the 

 % previous degrees command:

 %       \prevdegrees{A.A., Harvard University (1985)}

 % You can use the \\ command to list multiple previous degrees

 %       \prevdegrees{B.S., University of California (1978) \\

 %                    S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1981)}

 \department{Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science}

 

 % If the thesis is for two degrees simultaneously, list them both

 % separated by \and like this:

 % \degree{Doctor of Philosophy \and Master of Science}

 \degree{Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering}

 

 % As of the 2007-08 academic year, valid degree months are September, 

 % February, or June.  The default is June.

 %% By default, the thesis will be copyrighted to MIT.  If you need to copyright

 %% the thesis to yourself, just specify the `vi' documentclass option.  If for

 %% some reason you want to exactly specify the copyright notice text, you can

 %% use the \copyrightnoticetext command.  

 %\copyrightnoticetext{\copyright IBM, 1990.  Do not open till Xmas.}

 

 % If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command

 % once for each.

 \supervisor{William J. Dally}{Associate Professor}

 

 % This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee

 % chairman.  You should replace this with your Department's Committee

 % Chairman.

 \chairman{Arthur C. Smith}{Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Theses}

 

 % Make the titlepage based on the above information.  If you need

 % something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify

 % the exact text of the titlepage yourself.  Put it in a titlepage

 % environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.

 % The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page.  The dotted

 % lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.

 \maketitle

 

 % The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except

 % the text itself.  The title and other header material are put at the

 % top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom.  A

 % new page is begun both before and after.  Of course, an abstract may

 % be more than one page itself.  If you need more control over the

 % format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts

 % the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.

 

 %% You can either \input (*not* \include) your abstract file, or you can put

 %% the text of the abstract directly between the \begin{abstractpage} and

 %% \end{abstractpage} commands.

 

 % First copy: start a new page, and save the page number.

 \cleardoublepage

 % Uncomment the next line if you do NOT want a page number on your

 % abstract and acknowledgments pages.

 \pagestyle{empty}

 \setcounter{savepage}{\thepage}

 \begin{abstractpage}

 \input{abstract}

 \end{abstractpage}

 

 % Additional copy: start a new page, and reset the page number.  This way,

 % the second copy of the abstract is not counted as separate pages.

 % Uncomment the next 6 lines if you need two copies of the abstract

 % page.

 % \setcounter{page}{\thesavepage}

 % \begin{abstractpage}

 % \input{abstract}

 % \end{abstractpage}
