A system and method are provided to generate a hierarchical tree representing stack traces.
In one embodiment, stack trace elements in a plurality of stack traces relating to profiling of …

Many dynamic optimization and/or binary translation systems hold optimize/translated
superblocks in a code cache. Conventional code caching systems suffer from overheads …

The unit of compilation for traditional just-in-time compilers is the method. We have explored
trace-based compilation, in which the unit of compilation is a loop, potentially spanning …
