Systematic Compilation for Predicated Execution

185 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2000.The Partial Reverse If-Conversion Framework, the Predicate Analysis System, the Predicate Dataflow Graph, and the Program Decision Logic Optimizer are demonstrated to work synergistically in the compiler to generate efficient code for nonnumeric programs. Using predication, these techniques effectively optimize codes in the presence of complex branch control flow.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
