Summary:Optimizations in HLVM
Project:HLVM

HLVM now includes a simple term rewriter designed to support local optimization passes as well as a loop unrolling optimization pass.

The GC has also been optimized to record only addresses internally rather than (triple-word) references.

Unrolling is very beneficial in HLVM because it amortizes the cost of updating the shadow stack. Consequently, HLVM is now significantly faster than ocamlopt on all of the numerical benchmarks included in the HLVM test suite.
