Abstract
In this paper we explicitly address the challenges of building a dynamic optimization infrastructure. Our goal is to provide an engineering manual for researchers to motivate and facilitate engagement in dynamic optimization technology. The dynamic optimization framework we discuss has been implemented for the IA-32 family of architectures in a Windows environment. We describe implementation challenges specific to Windows and issues with multiple threads and cache management. We also give performance results for our implementation and indicate the overheads involved. This framework opens up opportunities for program introspection and performance enhancement as all program information is available at runtime.
