Compiler Support for Persistent Programming
Antony L. Hosking, J. Eliot B. Moss · 1991
We present the design and implementation of Persistent Modula-3, a compiled, optimized, persistent programming language. The design allows the evaluation of performance aspects of persistent programming languages, while the implementation supports the development of compile-time mechanisms for optimizing persistent programs. We present several optimizations in detail, and outline further optimization opportunities.
