Research Summary

Current research efforts involve instruction scheduling for delayed-load and superscalar architectures. Formal models of interprocedural register allocation, including optimal register allocation, have been developed.

Work involving the use of shadow processing to optimize and automate program profiling and correctness checking is also in progress.
