Rat's Register Allocator

Automated excerpt

The register allocator maps each vreg to a physical register: a general-purpose register (12 can be used) or an xmm register (14 on Linux1). A vreg whose bundle got a register becomes that register. Before each instruction, rat loads each spilled operand into a temporary register.
