arXiv:2606.00131v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-link optimizers (PLOs) such as Propeller and BOLT have demonstrated that precise, profile-guided code layout can extract significant performance gains from heavily optimized binaries. However, these systems are currently restricted to intraprocedural techniques, leaving the global potential of interprocedural layout largely untapped. Interprocedural code layout is historically difficult due to a combinatorially intractable search space and complex call-return semantics that are challenging to model. Consequently, the performance potential
The continuous drive for performance optimization in large-scale AI and computing infrastructure motivates advancements in interprocedural code layout, building on previous intraprocedural successes.
This development indicates a significant algorithmic and engineering step towards more efficient utilization of hardware, directly impacting the performance and cost of large-scale AI deployments and software services.
Current code optimization techniques are primarily intraprocedural; this research introduces interprocedural methods to unlock further performance gains in critical, warehouse-scale computing environments.
