Profile-Guided Optimizations for Instruction Caches

Abstract

Instruction cache performance is very important for the overall performance of a computer. The placement of code blocks in memory can significantly affect the cache miss rate. This means that a compiler can improve the performance of a program by placing parts of code at the right addresses in memory. This work discusses several methods for collecting profile information, and describes an algorithm that uses profile information to guide code block placement. Additionally, the algorithm is added into the optimizer of the LLVM compiler, and improvements in cache performance are evaluated.

Keywords
