Computer-Implemented Method and System for Improved Data Flow Analysis and Optimization

An article of manufacture embodied as a machine-accessible medium including data that, when accessed by a machine, causes the machine to perform operations comprising:

• generating data flow analysis information from vectorized processing components, the data flow analysis information including an input information set and an output information set;
• generating hole information from the vectorized processing components;
• selecting needed holes based on the input information set, the output information
• set, and the hole information;
• and
• modifying a portion of the data flow analysis information by retaining needed holes and removing holes not identified as needed holes from the vectorized processing components.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor to store vectorized processing components;
• a data flow analyzer to generate data flow analysis information from the vectorized processing components, the data flow analysis information including an input information set and an output information set;
• a hole detector to generate hole information from the vectorized processing components, and to select needed holes based on the input information set, the output information set, and the hole information;
• and
• a data flow modifier to modify a portion of the data flow analysis information by retaining needed holes and removing holes not identified as needed holes from the vectorized processing components.
