Register allocation is often a two-phase approach: spilling of registers to memory, followed by coalescing of registers. Extreme liverange splitting (i.e. live-range splitting aft...
Dynamic Optimization is an umbrella term that refers to any optimization of software that is performed after the initial compile time. It is a complementary optimization opportuni...
level of abstraction, compared with the program representation for scalar optimizations. For example, loop unrolling and loop unrolland-jam transformations exploit the large regist...

Inherent within complex instruction set architectures such as x86 are inefficiencies that do not exist in a simpler ISAs. Modern x86 implementations decode instructions into one o...

As compilers increasingly rely on optimizations to achieve high performance, the effectiveness of source level debuggers for optimized code continues to falter. Even if values of s...
