CAREER: Architectural Support for Object-oriented Code Execution

9501172 David Kaeli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。从许多面向对象的编程环境中捕捉到了踪迹。正在进行工作量表征，以确定这一新的编程模型带来的根本问题。然后提出了架构更改以提高面向对象代码的执行性能。这项研究正在调查对硬件的体系结构更改，这些更改将提高所有编程环境的性能。随着越来越多的软件使用面向对象语言进行开发，这项研究将对加速未来应用程序的性能产生直接影响。这个项目的教育部分关注于改进计算机工程课程、学生咨询工具、课堂计算机辅助工具和本科生研究课程。

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.
