Region-based compilation repartitions a program into more desirable compilation units using profil- ing information and procedure inlining to enable region formation analysis. Heuristics play a key role in determining when it is most beneficial to inline procedures during region formation. An ILP optimizing compiler using a region-based approach restructures a program to better reflect dynamic behavior and increase interprocedural optimization and scheduling opportunities. This paper presents an interproce- dural compilation technique which performs procedure inlining on-demand, rather than as a separate phase, to improve the ability of a region-based optimizer to control code growth, compilation time and memory usage while improving performance. The interprocedural region formation algorithm utilizes a demand-driven, heuristics-guided approach to inlining, restructuring an input program into interpro- cedural regions. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the impact of the algorithm and several inlining heuristics upon a number of traditional and novel compilation characteristics within a region-based ILP compiler and simulator. |
