Abstract
A processing device includes a target processor instruction memory to store a plurality of target processor instructions that include a plurality of global memory access instructions. The processing device further includes a compiler to communicate with the target processor instruction memory, the compiler including: a global variable candidate detection module to identify a global memory access instruction within a set of code regions that use a set of global variable candidates to access a global memory, and a memory access optimization module to modify the global memory access instruction, wherein the modified global memory access instruction utilizes an unused base pointer register of a set of unused base pointer register candidates within the set of code regions, a global variable from the set of global variable candidates to be used as a base address, and an offset relative to the base address to access the global memory.
