An optimizer for Ada - design, experiences and results
Benjamin Schwarz, Walter Kirchgässner, Rudolf Landwehr · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1988
In this paper we describe the design of a global machine independent low level optimizer for the Karlsruhe Ada Compiler. We give a short overview on the optimizations and data structures used in the optimizer as well as some experiences with the optimizer. Detailed measurements are provided for a collection of benchmarks. The average improvement of code speed is 40%.
