Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for performing speculative code motion within a sparse partial redundancy elimination (PRE) framework. Speculative code motion (i.e., speculation) refers to the placement of computations by a compiler in positions in the program that results in some paths being executed more efficiently and some being executed less efficiently. A net speed-up is thus achieved when the improved paths are those executed more frequently during the program's execution. Two embodiments for performing speculative code motion within the PRE framework are presented: (1) a conservative speculation method used in the absence of profile data; and (2) a profile-driven speculation method used when profile data are available. In a preferred embodiment, the two methods may be performed within static single assignment PRE (SSAPRE) resulting in better optimized code.
