ABSTRACT:
A method (and system) of transparent dynamic optimization in a multiprocessing environment, includes monitoring execution of an application on a first processor with an execution monitor running on another processor of the system, and transparently optimizing one or more segments of the original application with a runtime optimizer executing on the another processor of the system.
