ABSTRACT:
The invention in one embodiment is a method for identifying partially redundant loads in an SSA intermediate language representation of at least a portion of a computer program. The intermediate language representation in this embodiment includes an inserted phi-function and the definitions and their uses have been renamed. The method includes identifying a partially redundant load by determining whether one of the operands in the inserted phi-function is unregisterized.
