R. Nigel Horspool

Retired From UVic

My last day of work as a UVic professor was on 30 June 2016. No students are being accepted for supervision. My current title is now Professor Emeritus and I no longer have an office at the university. The only reliable way to contact me is via email.

Former Research Interests

Compilers and programming language implementation, especially Java implementation.
Lossless data compression.
An older research interest was string searching algorithms. There is an on-line animation of the Horspool string searching algorithm. (A simplification to the Boyer-Moore algorithm.)

ARMSim#

ARMSim# is no longer being maintained or supported. It emulates an obsolete 32-bit version of the ARM architecture (ARM7TDMI). If you really want to access its source code or use the program, you will find all the code on GitHub.
