Abstract
A system is provided for enhancing a compiler with the capability to install a fastpath within a compiled program. The enhanced compiler allows a program to use the benefits of a fastpath without requiring the addition of new code to the source code. Any type of program, including multi-media, can benefit from the enhanced compiler. A program need only be evaluated to see if there are functions/procedures which can utilize a fastpath. A programmer may turn the enhancement on or off depending upon whether or not there are recurring calculations with results that do not change over time from the same input.
