A Linear Time Algorithm for Placing -Nodes

Dataflow analysis framework based on Static Single Assignment (SSA) form and Sparse Evaluation Graphs (SEGs) demand fast computation of program points where data flow information must be merged, the so-called -nodes. In this paper, we present a surprisingly simple algorithm for computing -nodes for arbitrary flowgraphs (reducible or irreducible) that runs in linear time. We employ a novel progr...
