Dear PyPy team,
I am in the process of writing a paper that will target some AI conference, and I would like to ask if there are any relevant publications of yours or in general that showcase the possible advantages of trace-based JIT compilation over method-based JIT compilation or static compilation.
I just want to use 2 or 3 of them as references when I explain why my implementation is more scalable and robust when compared to some C/C++/Java implementations (appart from different data structures and algorithms).
Thank you :)
The two PyPy papers about our tracing JIT are these: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1565827 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2069172.2069181 However, they don't really precisely answer you question, why tracing JITs are better. Cheers, Carl Friedrich
