Towards Compile-Time Optimizations for Persistence

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Paper › peer-review

Abstract

We consider how a persistent programming language might offer performance competitive with that of non-persistent
languages,at least on memory resident data. We are concernedwith object-oriented languages,and with implementing
persistence via object faulting, where the system detects uses of non-resident objects and fetches them on demand. We
present some background on object faulting and means for implementing it, and describe a specific language we are
developing, namely Persistent Modula-3. Then we explore approaches to optimising persistence aspects of Persistent
Modula-3, and outline techniques under consideration in our compiler development effort.
