Before I started this, I had never heard of an optimization technique that
tries to take advantage of L1 cache. That may very well indicate that the
register allocator really is "just dumb". (No flame wars, please.
Outstanding and brilliant developers did the best they could with the
algorithms they had. I sincerely doubt that I could have done as well).
My approach is sort of a second stab at taking advantage of L1 cache as an
optimization technique. For the first stab, see Lal George's paper
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/compiler-notes/k32.ps.
Please note that Mr. George's approach was successful in speeding up program
execution.
