From Speculative Partial Redundancy Elimination to Speculative Partial Dead Code Elimination

R. Nigel Horspool, David Pereira - University of Victoria

Although SPRE can be mapped to a network flow problem and solved optimally, there are some practical issues which still must be addressed. Perhaps the most important is keeping register pressure under control, while another would be extending SPRE to work with unsafe expressions. We discuss some ideas for adapting SPRE and also some very early ideas for developing a speculative version of partial dead code elimination (SPDE).
