...the design more, but you may want to think about it and come with your own design first. Finally, we need some way to validate the design and verify the implementation. Weighted statistics will be very useful here, similar to those that Jakob used in the register allocator. For example: For each nonadjacent edge: TakenBranchFrequency += frequency(Edge) This metric will prefer the most "extreme" layout because it assumes perfect accuracy of block frequencies. It would be nice to look at the same metric computed from skewed branch probabilities to see how sensitive it is to small shifts in...
