An Attempt to Catch Up with JITs: The False Lead of Optimizing Inline Caches
Context: Just-in-Time (JIT) compilers are able to specialize the code they generate according to a continuous profiling of the running programs. This gives them an advantage when compared to Ahead-of-Time (AoT) compilers that must choose the code to generate once for all. Inquiry: Is it possible ...
Context: Just-in-Time (JIT) compilers are able to specialize the code they generate according to a continuous profiling of the running programs. Inquiry: Is it possible to improve the performance of AoT compilers by adding Dynamic Binary Modification (DBM) to the executions? Knowledge: Reducing the number of memory accesses as the new optimization does, does not shorten execution times on contemporary architectures.
