Modern programs frequently employ sophisticated modular designs. As a result, performance problems cannot be identified from costs attributed to routines in isolation; understand...

This paper describes Automatic Pool Allocation, a transformation framework that segregates distinct instances of heap-based data structures into seperate memory pools and allows h...
Instruction combining is an optimization to replace a sequence of instructions with a more efficient instruction yielding the same result in a fewer machine cycles. When we use it...
This paper introduces dynamic object colocation, an optimization to reduce copying costs in generational and other incremental garbage collectors by allocating connected objects t...
Symbiotic job scheduling boosts simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor performance by co-scheduling jobs that have ‘compatible’ demands on the processor’s shared resour...
