Relating Static and Dynamic Measurementsfor the Java Virtual Machine Instruction Set
Tom Dowling, James F. Power, John T. Waldron · 2002
It has previously been noted that, for conventional machine code, there is a strong relationship between static and dynamic code measurements. One of the goals of this paper is to examine whether this same relationship is true of Java programs at the bytecode level. To this end, the hypothesis of a linear correlation between static and dynamic frequencies was investigated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Programs from the Java Grande and SPEC benchmarks suites were used in the analysis.
