Procedure Optimizations: Tail-Call Optimization and Tail-Recursion Elimination - Procedure Integration - In-Line Expansion - Leaf-Routine Optimization and Shrink Wrapping. Code Scheduling: Instruction Scheduling - Speculative Loads and Boosting - Speculative Scheduling - Software Pipelining - Trace Scheduling - Percolation Scheduling. Control-Flow and Low-Level Optimizations : Unreachable-Code Elimination - Straightening - If Simplifications - Loop Simplifications -Loop Inversion – Un-switching - Branch Optimizations - Tail Merging or Cross Jumping - Conditional Moves - Dead-Code Elimination - Branch Prediction - Machine Idioms and Instruction Combining.

UNIT IV INTER PROCEDURAL OPTIMIZATION
Symbol table – Runtime Support - Interprocedural Analysis and Optimization: Interprocedural Control Flow Analysis - The Call Graph - Interprocedural Data-Flow Analysis - Interprocedural Constant Propagation - Interprocedural Alias Analysis - Interprocedural Optimizations - Interprocedural Register Allocation - Aggregation of Global References.

UNIT V REGISTER ALLOCATION AND OPTIMIZING FOR MEMORY
Register Allocation: Register Allocation and Assignment - Local Methods - Graph Coloring – Priority Based Graph Coloring - Other Approaches to Register Allocation. Optimization for the Memory Hierarchy: Impact of Data and Instruction Caches - Instruction-Cache Optimization - Scalar Replacement of Array Elements - Data-Cache Optimization - Scalar vs. Memory-Oriented Optimizations.
