Abstract: . Compilers can exploit knowledge that a variable has a fixed known value at a program point for optimizations such as code specialization and constant folding. Recent work has shown that it is possible to take advantage of such optimizations, and thereby obtain significant performance improvements, even if a variable cannot be statically guaranteed to have a fixed constant value. To do this profitably, however, it is necessary to take into account information about the runtime... (Update)

.... under consideration, to prune the set of candidate variable program point pairs to those where value profiling may be profitable [16]. Suppose that the value profile for a variable x at a particular program point indicates that it takes on the value 0 most of the time....
...instructions whose TNV table has converged, i.e. reached a steady state, the slowdown dropped to a factor of 10. Watterson and Debray [WD01] present a value profiling infrastructure very similar to Calder et al. s. It is also based on the Atom tool, but they use a cost benefit...
