Title:Towards an Adaptive Java Optimising Compiler: An Empirical Evaluation of Program Transformations
Authors: Shun Long ; Michael O'Boyle
Date:Jun 2001
Publication Title:Procs of 3rd Workshop on Java for High Performance Computing, ACM ICS
Publication Type:Conference Paper
Abstract:
Our overall aim is to develop an Adaptive Java Optimising Framework(AJOF) which dynamically optimises Java programs during execution. This paper focuses on one aspect of such a framework and investigates the impact of high level transformations on program performance. It shows that by combining transformations, it is possible to achieve speedups on a uni-processor of upto 1.86. This is followed by an evaluation of an adaptive feedback directed search strategy where it is is shown that it is possible to achieve 95% of the available performance with just 15 evaluations. Thus good transformation may be found relatively quickly and can be included in a on-line adaptive compilation system.
