  • Method and system of providing dynamic optimization information in a code interpretive runtime environment
    Patent number: 6412107
    Abstract: The present invention is a code preparation system (12) which accepts input code (11) in intermediate code format, our source code format which is first translated into intermediate format, analyzes the intermediate code, then provides optimization information, hints, and/or directions (collectively referred to as “optimization information”) for optimizing execution of the intermediate code by a code interpretive runtime environment, such as a Java Virtual Machine. The code interpretive runtime environment is operable to selectively implement the optimization information received from the code preparation system (12). The optimization information is provided to the code interpretive runtime environment in the form of additional attributes added to a class file (14) generated by the code preparation system (12).
