Abstract:
A method for optimizing the performance of a software application executing on a computer system, said method comprising the steps of:parsing said application including identifying a plurality of sequences of instructions of said application having a desired bit width of an instruction sequence, the step of identifying including the steps of determining a type of each sequence of instructions, determining a bit width of said sequence of instructions, removing an instruction from said instruction sequence upon determining the bit width of said instruction sequence exceeds said desired bit width, removing an instruction from said instruction sequence when said bit width of said instruction sequence exceeds said desired bit width of said instruction sequence, and repeating said steps of determining said bit width and removing an instruction until said sequence has a bit width less than or equal to said desired bit width;translating each sequence of instructions into one operable function; andassigning an identifier to each one of said operable functions.
