Static Single Assignment form is an intermediate representation that uses instructions to merge values at each confluent point of the control flow graph. instructions are not ma...
Predicated execution enables the removal of branches by converting segments of branching code into sequences of conditional operations. An important side effect of this transforma...

Dynamic binary translators use a two-phase approach to identify and optimize frequently executed code dynamically. In the first step (profiling phase), blocks of code are interpre...
Dynamic optimization systems store optimized or translated code in a software-managed code cache in order to maximize reuse of transformed code. Code caches store superblocks that...
Instruction scheduling hardware can be simplified and easily pipelined if pairs of dependent instructions are fused so they share a single instruction scheduling slot. We study an...
