  • Lightweight service based dynamic binary rewriter framework
    Patent number: 8752008
    Abstract: A sampling based DBR framework which leverages a separate core for program analysis. The framework includes a hardware performance monitor, a DBR service that executes as a separate process and a lightweight DBR agent that executes within a client process. The DBR service aggregates samples from the hardware performance monitor, performs region selection by deducing the program structure around hot samples, performs transformations on the selected regions (e.g. optimization), and generates replacement code. The DBR agent then patches the client process to use the replacement code.

  • Selecting regions of hot code in a dynamic binary rewriter
    Patent number: 8356165
    Abstract: An approach to region selection which extends beyond traces and selects super-regions. A super-region (SR) contains arbitrary control flow, such as interprocedural nested loops, that provides a larger scope for transformation (e.g. optimization) than traces. Hardware samples are used to identify SRs that contain the hot code of a client process without requiring any static program information.
