Reordering the instructions to avoid pipeline stalls and improve parallelism without changing the outcome of the program.

Substitution of expensive operations with equivalent but less costly operations.

The process of removing code which does not affect the program output (dead code), reducing resource consumption and improving execution time.

Creation of a graphical representation of all paths that might be traversed through a program during its execution.

The final step of the back-end that translates an intermediate representation of the source program into machine code specific for a target CPU architecture.

Expanding a loop by repeating the instructions within the loop body to reduce the number of iterations and control overhead.

A local pass over the generated code to improve it by identifying and replacing certain sub-sequences with more efficient ones.

An analysis technique that gathers information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program.

Optimizations that analyze and optimize across function boundaries, in contrast to intra-procedural optimizations within a single function.

The process of substituting a function call with the actual code of the function, removing the call overhead and enabling other optimizations.

An optimization technique using data collected from profiling runs of the program (e.g., execution frequency of code paths) to inform and guide compilation strategies.

The process of assigning a large number of target program variables onto a small number of CPU registers to optimize runtime performance.

Simplifying expressions and assignments by replacing variables that have constant values with the actual values.

Determining if two pointers or references in a program may refer to the same memory location.
