Artifact Evaluation for the Optimization-Driven Incremental Inline Substitution Algorithm for Just-In-Time Compilers

This evaluation reproduces the comparison between GraalVM’s new optimization-driven priority-based inliner, GraalVM’s legacy (open-source) greedy inliner, and the HotSpot C2 compiler, as described in the paper An Optimization-Driven Incremental Inline Substitution Algorithm for Just-In-Time Compilers, published at CGO 2019. The evaluation is done on the DaCapo and Scala DaCapo benchmark suites by executing a script that runs all the benchmarks, and shows the running times of each benchmark in the command line. The expected result is to confirm the performance differences between the GraalVM’s new inlining algorithm, the legacy inlining algorithm, and the HotSpot C2 compiler, which are reported in the original paper
