Inlining improves the performance of programs by reducing the overhead of method invocation and increasing the opportunities for compiler optimization. Incorrect inlining decision...
We introduce a new non-intrusive on-chip cache-tuning hardware module capable of accurately predicting the best configuration of a configurable cache for an executing application....
