M6: Compiler Optimizations 
==================================================
In this final module, you we will explore a the optimizer portion of the compiler and discuss how one implements various optimizations in the middle component of the compiler. We will also have a course-recap of all the components that makeup a compiler.

Pre-recorded Lectures
---------------------
**Note: Professor Samuels will state on Ed when the prerecorded videos are ready to be viewed each week for a module.**

There will be no videos for the final module in compilers. However, Professor Samuels will post a few additional resources about other compiler optimizations. 

The slides presented in these videos are accessible in the upstream repository.
