The SSAPRE algorithm for performing partial redundancy elimination based entirely on SSA form is presented. The algorithm is formulated based on a new conceptual framework, the fac-tored redundancy graph, for analyzing redundancy, and represents the rst sparse approach to the classical problem of partial redundancy elimination. At the same time, it provides new perspectives on the problem and o...
