Abstract

Dynamic trace sizing for tracing just-in-time compilation is provided. A trace of a program is generated during a tracing phase of the just-in-time compilation. The trace of the program is profiled to determine an estimated effective trace size prior to compiling the trace. Additional profiling is performed to determine a garbage collection time and consequently a total execution time of the program based on the estimated effective trace size determined prior to compiling the trace. It is determined whether to continue formation of the trace or trigger termination of the trace based on the garbage collection time of the program. Triggering the termination of the trace dynamically sizes the trace at runtime of the program.
