public final class LoadElimination
extends OptimizationPlanCompositeElement

This class implements the redundant load elimination by Fink, Knobe && Sarkar. See SAS 2000 paper for details.

DEBUG

static final boolean DEBUG

Constant Field Values

round

private final int round

which round of load elimination is this?

LoadElimination

public LoadElimination(int round)

Parameters:

round - which round of load elimination is this?

shouldPerform

public boolean shouldPerform(OptOptions options)

Description copied from class: OptimizationPlanCompositeElement

Determine, possibly by consulting the passed options object, if this optimization plan element should be performed.

Overrides:

shouldPerform in class OptimizationPlanCompositeElement

Parameters:

options - The Options object for the current compilation.

Returns:

true if the plan element should be performed.

getName

public String getName()

Overrides:

getName in class OptimizationPlanCompositeElement

Returns:

a String which is the name of the phase.

eliminateLoads

static boolean eliminateLoads(IR ir,
                              DF_Solution available)

Eliminate redundant loads with respect to prior defs and prior uses.

Returns:

true if any load is eliminated.

replaceLoads

static LoadElimination.UseRecordSet replaceLoads(IR ir,
                                                 DF_Solution available,
                                                 HashMap<LoadElimination.UseRecord,Register> registers)

Walk over each instruction. If its a USE (load) of a heap variable and the value is available, then replace the load with a move from a register. POSTCONDITION: sets up the mapping 'registers' from value number to temporary register

Parameters:

ir - the IR

available - information on which values are available

registers - a place to store information about temp registers

replaceLoadWithMove

static void replaceLoadWithMove(Register r,
                                Instruction load)

Replace a Load instruction s with a load from a scalar register r TODO: factor this functionality out elsewhere

replaceDefs

static void replaceDefs(IR ir,
                        LoadElimination.UseRecordSet UseRepSet,
                        HashMap<LoadElimination.UseRecord,Register> registers)

Perform scalar replacement actions for a Def of a heap variable. NOTE: Even loads can def a heap variable.

Parameters:

UseRepSet - stores the uses(loads) that have been eliminated

registers - mapping from valueNumber -> temporary register

appendMove

static void appendMove(Register r,
                       Operand src,
                       Instruction store)

Append an instruction after a store instruction that caches value in register r.

findOrCreateRegister

static Register findOrCreateRegister(Object heapType,
                                     int valueNumber,
                                     HashMap<LoadElimination.UseRecord,Register> registers,
                                     ArchitectureSpecificOpt.RegisterPool pool,
                                     TypeReference type)

Given a value number, return the temporary register allocated for that value number. Create one if necessary.

Parameters:

heapType - a TypeReference or RVMField identifying the array SSA heap type

valueNumber -

registers - a mapping from value number to temporary register

pool - register pool to allocate new temporaries from

type - the type to store in the new register

findOrCreateRegister

static Register findOrCreateRegister(Object heapType,
                                     int v1,
                                     int v2,
                                     HashMap<LoadElimination.UseRecord,Register> registers,
                                     ArchitectureSpecificOpt.RegisterPool pool,
                                     TypeReference type)

Given a pair of value numbers, return the temporary register allocated for that pair. Create one if necessary.

Parameters:

heapType - a TypeReference identifying the array SSA heap type

v1 - first value number

v2 - second value number

registers - a mapping from value number to temporary register

pool - register pool to allocate new temporaries from

type - the type to store in the new register

findOrCreateIndexSet

private static <T> HashSet<T> findOrCreateIndexSet(HashMap<Object,HashSet<T>> map,
                                                   Object key)

Parameters:

map - a mapping from key to HashSet

key - a key into the map

Returns:

the set map(key). create one if none exists.

getCandidates

public static HashSet<Object> getCandidates(IR ir)

Do a quick pass over the IR, and return types that are candidates for redundant load elimination. Algorithm: return those types T where 1) there's a load L(i) of type T 2) there's another load or store M(j) of type T, M!=L and V(i) == V(j) The result contains objects of type RVMField and TypeReference, whose narrowest common ancestor is Object.
