Extensible Optimisation Framework for .NET Virtual Machine

Overview Component-based programming is a new programming paradigm where independent pieces of code are combined together to form the application program. Most performance improvement opportunities come from adapting components to their context of use, but these improvements tend to reduce re-usability, clarity and long-term software value. The purpose of this work is to change this, so that developers can write programs that follow component-based programming logic, and a program would be automatically and transparently transformed into one that is comparable, or better, in performance to an equivalent application. This paper introduces a domain-specific optimisation component that encodes knowledge specific to a particular application domain.
