Compilers rely on two main techniques to implement optimizations that depend on the calling context of functions: inlining and cloning. Historically, function inlining has seen more widespread use, as it tends to be more ...

Modern computer architectures are becoming each day more heterogeneous. Choosing the best hardware configuration for a given program is difficult, because programs, even of moderate size, go through many phases during ...

With chip manufacturers such as Intel, IBM and ARM offering native support for transactional memory in their instruction set architectures, memory transactions are on the verge of being considered a genuine application ...

The compilers community has dedicated much time and effort in making context-sensitive analyses scalable, with great profit. However, the implementation of context-sensitive optimizations remains a challenge. The main ...
