Return Value Prediction meets Information Theory
Accurate return value prediction is a key tool for enabling effective speculative method-level parallelism, which will be a standard feature in the next generation of chip-multiprocessor architectures. In this paper we give some information theoretic measures that indicate intrinsic predictability of method return values. This is in stark contrast to the current ad-hoc heuristic measures impose...
متن کاملAdaptive Software Return Value Prediction
Return value prediction (RVP) is a technique for guessing the return value from a function before it actually completes, enabling a number of program optimizations and analyses. However, despite the apparent usefulness, RVP and value prediction in general have seen limited uptake in practice. Hardware proposals have been successful in terms of speed and prediction accuracy, but the cost of dedi...
متن کاملCoalition Formation Meets Information Theory
The process of coalition formation, where distinct autonomous agents come together to act as a coherent group is an important form of interaction in multiagent systems. Previous work has focused on developing coalition formation algorithms which seek to maximize some coalition structure valuation function V (CS). However, for many real-world systems, evaluation of V (CS) must be done empiricall...
متن کاملCompiler Analyses for Improved Return Value Prediction
Speculative method-level parallelism has been shown to benefit from return value prediction. In this paper we propose and analyse two compiler analyses designed to improve the cost and performance of a hybrid return value predictor in a Java virtual machine setting. A return value use analysis determines which return values are consumed, and enables us to eliminate 2.6% of all non-void dynamic ...
متن کاملDo Return Prediction Models Add Economic Value?∗
We compare statistical and economic measures of forecasting performance across a large set of stock return prediction models with time-varying mean and volatility. We find that it is very common for models to produce higher out-of-sample mean squared forecast errors than a model assuming a constant equity premium, yet simultaneously add economic value when their forecasts are used to guide port...
