T4C: Vertical Transformation
- The paper compares compilation strategies, especially interpretation versus just-in-time compilation.
T5E: Empirical Evaluation
- The paper results are based on concrete experiments with CLBG across seven programming languages.
T5F: Performance
- The paper is primarily an evaluation of runtime and energy-efficiency effects of JIT compilation across languages.
T4D: Runtime
- JIT compilation is studied as a runtime execution technique for dynamically compiling frequently executed code.
T3D: GPLs
- The paper covers Java, Javascript, PHP, Ruby, Python, Erlang and Lua.
