+Figure \ref{CompilingMontiumC} shows the flow for compiling a MontiumC program
 into a Montium binary file, which can be loaded directly onto a Montium. The
 process is roughly divided into two parts (each of which corresponds to a
 different program in the compiler suite): The frontend and the backend.
 
 The frontend takes in a MontiumC program and turns it into a lower level

 The backend, in turn, takes in this reduced description of the program and
 transforms this into a valid Montium binary. To do this, it must find an ALU
