Experience Integrating a New Compiler and a New Garbage Collector Into Rotor
Microsoft’s Rotor is a shared-source CLI implementation intended for use as a research platform. It is particularly attractive for research because of its complete implementation and extensive libraries, and because its modular design allows different implementations of certain components (e.g., just-in-time compilers). Our group has independently developed a highperformance just-in-time (JIT) ...
متن کاملJust-in-Time Compiler Assisted Object Reclamation and Space Reuse
Garbage collection consumes significant overhead to reclaim memory used by dead (i.e., unreachable) objects in applications. This paper explores techniques for compiler assisted object reclamation and allocation on an actual JVM. Thereinto, the just-in-time compiler identifies dead objects using pointer and escape analysis combining liveness information and inserts calls to free them. The garba...
متن کاملOpen Runtime Platform:
According to conventional wisdom, interfaces provide flexibility at the cost of performance. Most high-performance Java virtual machines today tightly integrate their core virtual machines with their just-in-time compilers and garbage collectors to get the best performance. The Open Runtime Platform (ORP) is unusual in that it reconciles high performance with the extensive use of welldefined in...
متن کاملPushdown ow analysis with abstract garbage collection
In the static analysis of functional programs, pushdown flow analysis and abstract garbage collection push the boundaries of what we can learn about programs statically. This work illuminates and poses solutions to theoretical and practical challenges that stand in the way of combining the power of these techniques. Pushdown flow analysis grants unbounded yet computable polyvariance to the anal...
متن کاملIntrospective pushdown analysis
In the static analysis of functional programs, pushdown flow analysis and abstract garbage collection skirt just inside the boundaries of soundness and decidability. This work illuminates and conquers the theoretical challenges that stand in the way of combining the power of these techniques. Pushdown flow analysis grants unbounded yet computable polyvariance to the analysis of return-flow in h...
متن کاملToba: Java for Applications - A Way Ahead of Time (WAT) Compiler
Toba is a system for generating efficient standalone Java applications. Toba includes a Java-bytecode-to-C compiler, a garbage collector, a threads package, and Java API support. Toba-compiled Java applications execute 1.5–10 times faster than interpreted and Just-In-Time compiled applications.
