Data-Flow/Dependence Profiling for Structured Transformations

International audienceProfiling feedback is an important technique used by developers for performance debugging, where it is usually used to pinpoint performance bottlenecks and also to find optimization opportunities. Assessing the validity and potential benefit of a program transformation requires accurate knowledge of the data flow and dependencies, which can be uncovered by profiling a particular execution of the program. In this work we develop poly-prof, an end-to-end infrastructure for dynamic binary analysis, which produces feedback about the potential to apply complex program rescheduling. Our tool can handle both inter-and intraproce-dural aspects of the program in a unified way, thus providing interprocedural transformation feedback
