Dynamic Optimization Using A Resource Cost Registry

A computer readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform dynamic optimization of a portable intermediate software module by:

• determining optimization parameters to be explored for the optimized execution of the portable intermediate software module;
• adjusting the optimization parameters according to cost information associated with resources of the computer;
• generating one or more instances of executable code from the portable intermediate software module each using different values for the optimization parameters;
• and
• executing the one or more instances of executable code on the computer.

A computing system comprising:

• a multicore processing unit;
• a memory;
• and
• a runtime module stored in the memory and configured to
• receive a portable intermediate software module,
• establish optimization settings based upon costs associated with resources of the computing system,
• generate an instance of executable code from the portable intermediate software module using the optimization settings, and
• execute the instance of executable code on the processing unit.
