It has been discovered that a control transfer table can be structured to reduce the overhead resulting from its use (e. g. , misses from accessing the control transfer table). Entries of a control transfer table (e. g. , a jump table or a procedure linkage table) can be organized in accordance with their respective use frequencies, as well as other parameters. For example, entries can be organized in a manner that would group the most frequently used entries, thus facilitating their contemporaneous availability in a memory (e. g. , cache). The use frequencies may be determined from profile information for a code that references the control transfer table.

A code, which may be a post-link binary or a pre-link object file, can be transformed to optimize code fragments that implement loading a constant from memory. A constant loading code fragment includes address computing operations that compute (or copy) an address representation of a constant for consumption by a memory access operation, and the memory access operation that loads the constant. Information from control flow analysis, data flow analysis, and binary structure/configuration analysis are examined to identify code fragments of a code that implement constant loading. A tool transforms the code to convert the identified code fragments. To optimize, the tool may convert operations, eliminate operations, convert indirect calls to direct calls, inline functions called indirectly, eliminate unused constant data, modify relocations, etc. This optimization can also be applied recursively. The same tool or another tool can subsequently analyze the transformed code one more times to identify additional opportunities for optimizations revealed by the transformation or to apply the transformation for a different profile of the application.

A method for processing graphics for a GPU program, translating instructions from a shading language into an intermediate language with a front end of a GPU compiler; translating the instructions from the intermediate language into a GPU object language with a back end of the GPU compiler; wherein the instructions in the shading language include instructions defining a layout of resources for the GPU program.
