Many high-level language compilers generate C code and then invoke a C compiler for code generation. To date, most of these compilers link the resulting code against a conservativ...
Speculative execution, such as control speculation and data speculation, is an effective way to improve program performance. Using edge/path profile information or simple heuristi...
