Lengthening Traces to Improve Opportunities for Dynamic Optimization Chuck Zhao, Cristiana Amza, Greg Steffan, University of Toronto Youfeng Wu Intel Research Intel’s StarDBT Project StarDBT A Dynamic Binary Translation framework Operates on traces, optimizes hot traces Long term goal: Use StarDBT to allow legacy apps to exploit TM support (NOT by automatically parallelizing legacy apps) Allow speculative sequential optimizations Use hardware TM’s checkpoint/restore Problem: default traces are too small TM overheads would overwhelm benefits Trace Formation Trade-offs when Lengthening Traces
