Abstract
A method and apparatus for computer operation improvement by flattening multi-level data structures to optimize pointer chase is provided. Within computer program code, one or more chains of multiple pointers which ultimately reference stored information to be processed are identified. These chains are analyzed to determine the feasibility of replacing the chains with a flatter data structure. In the flatter data structure, the stored information is accessible more directly. For example the data may be stored in a single array by which it can be accessed directly. When feasible, a chain is replaced with such a data structure and the computer program code is adjusted to implement the improved data structure in place of the associated chain. Candidate chains can be identified or prioritized for example on the basis of the expected impact to computer performance, e.g. in terms of operating speed or resource usage.
