Abstract: In another aspect, method useful for monitoring of an API/system call implemented by an application for generating disassembly of an executable binary of the application, includes the steps of scanning a computer system for an executable application. The method includes the step of scanning the computer system for a running process associated with the executable binary. The method includes the step of initiating an application programming interface (API) call monitoring method that associates an observed API/system call with the executable binary. The method includes the step of reporting a set of collected events to a local server.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for monitoring and validating execution of an executable binary code, includes the step of, prior to beginning execution of the executable binary code, disassembling the executable binary code, listing all of application programming interfaces (API) or function calls in the executable binary code, generating a validation table for a type of each of the APIs or each of the function calls, a location of each of the APIs or each of the function calls, and a return address of each of the APIs or each of the function calls in the executable binary code, and listing in the validation table the type of each of the APIs or each of the function calls.

Abstract: The prefetch distance to be used by a prefetch instruction may not always be correctly calculated using compile-time information. In one embodiment, the present invention generates prefetch distance calculation code to dynamically calculate a prefetch distance used by a prefetch instruction at run-time.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and program product for optimizing code that contains dynamically-allocated memory. The aliasing behavior of internal pointers of dynamically-allocated memory is used to disambiguate memory accesses and to eliminate false data dependencies. It is determined whether a dynamically-allocated array will behave like a statically-allocated array throughout the entire program execution once it has been allocated. This determination is used to improve the instruction scheduling efficiency, which yields better performance.
