Established benchmark suites for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), such as DaCapo,
ScalaBench, and SPECjvm2008, lack workloads that take advantage of the parallel …

Compilers perform a variety of advanced optimizations to improve the quality of the
generated machine code. However, optimizations that depend on the data flow of a program …

Inlining is one of the most important compiler optimizations. It reduces call overheads and
widens the scope of other optimizations. But, inlining is somewhat of a black art of an …

Java 8 introduced streams that allow developers to work with collections of data using
functional-style operations. Streams are often used in pipelines of operations for processing …

Availability of profiling information is a major advantage of just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
Profiles guide the compilation order and optimizations, thus substantially improving program …

The first Futamura projection enables compilation and high performance code generation of
user programs by partial evaluation of language interpreters. Previous work has shown that …

Inlining is the primary facilitating mechanism for intraprocedural Partial Escape Analysis
(PEA), which allows for the removal of object allocations on a branch-by-branch basis and is …

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its
inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to …

Parametric polymorphism enables programmers to express algorithms independently of the
types of values that they operate on. The approach used to implement parametric …

Java programs can contain non-counted loops, that is, loops for which the iteration count
can neither be determined at compile time nor at run time. State-of-the-art compilers do not …
