In the last three decades a large number of compiler transformations for optimizing programs
have been implemented. Most optimizations for uniprocessors reduce the number of …

Virtual machines face significant performance challenges beyond those confronted by
traditional static optimizers. First, portable program representations and dynamic language …

Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, Fifth Edition, explores the ways that
software and technology in the cloud are accessed by digital media, such as cell phones …

Significant advances have been made in compilation technology for capitalizing on
instruction-level parallelism (ILP). The vast majority of ILP compilation research has been …

Engineering a Compiler, Third Edition covers the latest developments in compiler
technology, with new chapters focusing on semantic elaboration (the problems that arise in …

We describe the design and implementation of Dynamo, a software dynamic optimization
system that is capable of transparently improving the performance of a native instruction …

Modulo scheduling is a framework within which a wide variety of algorithms and heuristics
may be defined for software pipelining innermost loops. This paper presents a practical …

Predicated execution is an effective technique for dealing with conditional branches in
application programs. However, there are several problems associated with conventional …

Instruction-level parallelism (ILP) is a family of processor and compiler design techniques
that speed up execution by causing individual machine operations to execute in parallel …

Increasing demand for both greater parallelism and faster clocks dictate that future
generation architectures will need to decentralize their resources and eliminate primitives …
