Abstract
A system and method for optimizing a source code representation comprising a plurality of basic blocks are described. The optimized source code representation is to be executed in a target machine. The system operates by selecting from the source code representation a basic block pair comprising a source basic block and one or more target basic blocks. An instruction in the source basic block is identified that can be moved from the source basic block to the target basic block(s) while preserving program semantics. Either the instruction or a representation of the instruction is moved from the source basic block to the target basic block(s) as a function of resource utilization of the target machine that would result from this movement.
