CAREER: Architectural Support for Object-oriented Code Execution

9501172 Kaeli， David这项研究正在调查与面向对象代码执行相关的固有性能问题。跟踪是从许多面向对象的编程环境中捕获的。正在执行工作负载表征，以确定这个新编程模型所提出的潜在问题。然后提出对体系结构进行修改以提高面向对象代码的执行性能。这项研究调查了硬件的架构变化，这些变化将提高所有编程环境中的性能。随着越来越多的软件使用面向对象语言进行开发，本课题的研究将直接影响到未来应用程序的性能加速。这个项目的教育部分涉及改进计算机工程课程、学生指导工具、课堂计算机辅助和本科研究课程。

9501172 Kaeli, David This research is investigating the inherent performance problems associated with object-oriented code execution. Traces are being captured from a number of object-oriented programming environments. A workload characterization is being performed to identify the underlying problems presented by this new programming model. Architectural changes are then proposed to improve the execution performance of object-oriented code. This research is investigating architectural changes to the hardware that will improve performance across all programming environments. As more and more software is developed using object- oriented languages, this research will have a direct impact on acceleration the performance of future applications. The educational part of this project is concerned with making improvements in the Computer Engineering curriculum, student advising tools, classroom computer aids, and undergraduate research courses.
