Empire Grade is a windy road in Santa Cruz County, California. According to Google Maps, it is approximately long and runs from Highview Drive in Santa Cruz, California near the UC Santa Cruz Botanical Gardens to Bertoli Road near Lehi Park and Eagle Rock in Boulder Creek, California. South of Highview Drive, the road continues as High Street for another until it reaches a dead end near California State Route 1 just after Edgecliff Way. Empire Grade was constructed in 1872 and named after a mining company named Empire that operated during the 1850s. The term "Grade" is used in the name because it is a steep road that travels up the Ben Lomond Mountain. This road can be referred to as "Empire Grade Road". Many of the land sales on that road refer to it by that name. This road was where the last bear in the county was shot in 1885 and was the scene of many modern farms during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The suspect, 21 year old Elliot Dress, was arrested a few days later. He plead guilty to vehicular manslaughter and felony hit in run on June 22, 2011 and was sentenced to 14 years and 8 months in prison.

In computer science, a pika parser<ref name"Hutchison_2020"/> is a parser that applies PEG rules right to left, bottom-up, using dynamic programming, which is the inverse of the normal recursive descent or packrat parsing order<ref name"Ford_2002"/> of top-down, left to right.
Properties
By parsing in reverse, pika parsing solves the left recursion problem, allowing left-recursive rules to be used directly in the grammar without them having to be rewritten into non-left-recursive form,<ref name"Medeiros-Mascarenhas-Ierusalimschy_2014"/> and also conveys optimal error recovery capabilities upon the parser, which historically proved difficult to achieve for recursive descent parsers.<ref name"Medeiros-AzevedoAlvez-Mascarenhas_2020"/> The ability to recover from syntax errors is critical to the function of IDEs and compilers.
Performance
Like a packrat parser, a pika parser takes time linear in the length of the input and the depth of the parse tree. However, for very large grammars, Pika parsing incurs a sizeable constant multiplier per input character, which may mean that other parsers with super-linear parse time are faster for short to moderate inputs. For smaller grammars, e.g. an expression grammar, Pika parsing may be significantly faster than other parsers (as shown in the original paper).
Name origin
Pika parsing is named for the pika, which, like a packrat, stores food for the winter in "haystacks" or caches. (The earlier packrat parsing method got its name from the use of a memo table to store function call parameters and their results for later reuse, to avoid duplicated work.)
