Method and System for Managing Heuristic Properties

摘要

A computer implemented method, system and computer program product for managing heuristic properties for controlling an optimization transformation in a compiler or in other heuristically controlled software in a data processing system. A computer implemented method for controlling an optimization transformation in heuristically controlled software includes defining at least one heuristic property for controlling a behavior of an optimization transformation, and creating at least one heuristic property modifier for each desired change in the behavior of the optimization transformation. At least one of the at least one heuristic property is then modified using the at least one heuristic property modifier for achieving each desired change in the behavior of the optimization transformation.
