Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program, each for optimizing execution of a computer program is disclosed in which a topology-based control flow analysis of basic blocks of the computer program is performed and a data flow analysis of the instructions within the basic blocks is performed to determine if each instruction of said computer program is uniform or non-uniform (variant or invariant). Subsequently, when the computer program is executed, storage of a copy of a variable dependent on a uniform instruction is suppressed.
