A substantial part of the gain in processing power of modern computers can be attributed to the optimization of compilers. By applying cleaver transformation to code, a compiler can enable better utilization of the resources available in a machine. A single compiler optimization can easily speed up a non-optimized program by a factor of two or three. However, when applied to an already optimized code, where other cleaver transformations have been previously applied, the same optimization might yield modest improvements, or even result in a slow down.
My research interest is focused on code transformations that are applied at an intermediate representation of the program: A representation that is common to several programming languages and to several processor instruction sets. Thus, such transformations can benefit a large number of systems. Because of the "optimization interference" described above, I am interested on implementing new optimations on state-of-the art production compilers.
