Abstract
A compiler ( ) constructs (FIGS. ) a Reduced Flowgraph (RFG) from computer source code ( ). The RFG is used to instrument (FIG. ) code ( ). An object module is created ( ) and executed ( ). Resulting path frequency counts are written to a counts file ( ). A compiler ( ) uses the source code ( ) and the generated counts to identify runtime correlations between successive path edges and Superedges. An object module ( ) is generated containing reordered ( ) code generated to optimize performance based on the runtime correlations. If cloning is enabled ( ), high frequency path edges are cloned ( ) or duplicated to minimize cross edge branching.
