Improving Performance of Mobile Programs via a Compilation Service

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Virtual machines such as Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) provide better memory management, security, and program portability than natively executing programs, yet the extra layer in the execution hierarchy comes at a cost. One of these costs is compilation since modern JVM implementations interleave execution with compilation of “hot ” methods to achieve reasonable performance. Since compilation overhead impacts the execution time of the application and induces run-time pauses, we explore offloading compilation onto a dedicated server. This dissertation
