  • Runtime optimization of application bytecode via call transformations
    Patent number: 9183021
    Abstract: A method and system for optimizing application code via transformation of calls made by the application code during runtime. A computer system loads the application code that has been intermediately compiled into bytecode. The computer system then compiles and executes the application code. During runtime, the application code makes a call from a call site to an implementation of an operation that returns a value to the application code. The computer system runs an implementer of the implementation and an agent that operates independently of a compiler. The agent receives a notification of the call, performs an analysis on the application code during runtime to determine whether the value is used by the application code, and optimizes the application code by transforming the call site based on a result of the analysis.
