Abstract
A computerized technique for program simplification and specialization combines a partial interpretation of the program based on a subset of program functions to obtain variable states with concrete values at a program 'neck.' These concrete values are then propagated as part of an optimization transformation that simplifies the program based on these constant values, for example, by eliminating branches that are never taken based on the constant values.
