| Popis: | The knowledge about how an interpreter executes programs allows writing faster code and creating powerful source-to-source compilers. However, many languages and environments either lack a specification of the execution semantics, or the semantics frequently changes with new releases. In this article, we present (1) performance event profiles with execution regions, inventive use of event-based sampling on processors where we correlate profiles of many performance events to find regions with desired properties. Furthermore, we use the performance event profiles to deduce (2) a static, tree-based execution model of MATLAB with the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. The environment of MATLAB is closed-source, which makes it a perfect testbed for our approach. With the new model and better understanding of how MATLAB executes programs, we propose a new code transformation, (3) repacking of array slices, which can increase the amount of JIT-compiled code in MATLAB programs. |
