Abstract

In order to reduce cost and energy consumption, code-size optimization is an important issue for embedded systems. Traditional instruction saving techniques recognize code duplications only in exactly the same order within the program. As instructions can be reordered with respect to their data dependencies, Procedural Abstraction achieves better results on data flow graphs that reflect these dependencies. Since these graphs are always directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), a special mining algorithm for DAGs is presented in this chapter. Using a new canonical representation that is based on the topological order of the nodes in a DAG, the proposed algorithm is faster and uses less memory than the general graph mining algorithm gSpan. Due to its search lattice expansion strategy, an efficient pruning strategy is applied to the algorithm while using it for Procedural Abstraction. Its search for unconnected graph fragments outperforms traditional approaches for code-size reduction. © 2009 Springer US.
