Software systems have been using" just-in-time" compilation (JIT) techniques since the
1960s. Broadly, JIT compilation includes any translation performed dynamically, after a …

Self-adaptive software requires high dependability robustness, adaptability, and availability.
The article describes an infrastructure supporting two simultaneous processes in self …

Optimizing compilers for object-oriented languages apply static class analysis and other
techniques to try to deduce precise information about the possible classes of the receivers of …

Squeak is an open, highly-portable Smalltalk implementation whose virtual machine is
written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to. debug, analyze, and change. To achieve …

Dynamic optimization is emerging as a promising approach to overcome many of the
obstacles of traditional static compilation. But while there are a number of compiler …

This thesis addresses the challenges of building a software system for general-purpose
runtime code manipulation. Modern applications, with dynamically-loaded modules and …

We attempt to apply the technique of Tracing JIT Compilers in the context of the PyPy
project, ie, to programs that are interpreters for some dynamic languages, including Python …

Future high-performance virtual machines will improve performance through sophisticated
online feedback-directed optimizations. this paper presents the architecture of the Jalapeño …

Abstrach Object-oriented programs are difficult to optimize because they execute many
dynamically-dispatched calls. These calls cannot easily be eliminated because the compiler …
