Abstract

A computer implemented method, system, and computer usable program code for selective instruction scheduling. A determination is made whether a region of code exceeds a modification threshold after performing register allocation on the region of code. The region of code is marked as a modified region of code in response to the determination that the region of code exceeds the modification threshold. A determination is made whether the region of code exceeds an execution threshold in response to the determination that the region of code is marked as a modified region of code. Post-register allocation instruction scheduling is performed on the region of code in response to the determination that the region of code is marked as a modified region of code and the determination that the region of code exceeds the execution threshold.
