Path profiles provide a more accurate characterization of a program's dynamic behavior than basic block or edge profiles, but are relatively more expensive to collect. This h...

Program analysis is the heart of modern compilers. Most control flow analyses are reduced to the problem of finding a fixed point in a certain transition system, and such fixed po...
A large number of user requests execute (often concurrently) within a server system. A single request may exhibit fluctuating hardware characteristics (such as instruction comple...
Modern programs frequently employ sophisticated modular designs. As a result, performance problems cannot be identified from costs attributed to routines in isolation; understand...
