title = "Using profile information to assist advanced compiler optimization and scheduling",
abstract = "Compilers for superscalar and VLIW processors must expose sufficient instruction-level parallelism in order to achieve high performance. Compile-time code transformations which expose instruction-level parallelism typically take into account the constraints imposed by all execution scenarios in the program. However, there are additional opportunities to increase instruction-level parallelism along the frequent execution scenario at the expense of the less frequent execution sequences. Profile information identifies these important execution sequences in a program. In this paper, two major categories of profile information are studied: control-flow and memory-dependence. Profile-based transformations have been incorporated into the IMPACT compiler. These transformations include global optimization, acyclic global scheduling, and software pipelining. The effectiveness of these profile-based techniques is evaluated for a range of superscalar and VLIW processors.",
