GENERATING CODE PERFORMANCE HINTS USING SOURCE CODE COVERAGE ANALYTICS, INSPECTION, AND UNSTRUCTURED PROGRAMMING DOCUMENTS

摘要

An illustrative embodiment includes a method for improving performance of a computer. The method includes: automatically identifying an algorithm supplied by a user for execution on the computer; searching a database of algorithms for at least one algorithm similar to the user-supplied algorithm; determining whether the at least one similar algorithm will improve performance of the computer relative to the user-supplied algorithm; and if the at least one similar algorithm will improve performance of the computer relative to the user-supplied algorithm, modifying the user-supplied algorithm to incorporate at least in part the at least one similar algorithm.
