10 // This file implements the spill code placement analysis.
11 //
12 // Each edge bundle corresponds to a node in a Hopfield network. Constraints on
13 // basic blocks are weighted by the block frequency and added to become the node
14 // bias.
15 //
16 // Transparent basic blocks have the variable live through, but don't care if it
17 // is spilled or in a register. These blocks become connections in the Hopfield
18 // network, again weighted by block frequency.
19 //
20 // The Hopfield network minimizes (possibly locally) its energy function:
21 //
22 // E = -sum_n V_n * ( B_n + sum_{n, m linked by b} V_m * F_b )
23 //
24 // The energy function represents the expected spill code execution frequency,
25 // or the cost of spilling. This is a Lyapunov function which never increases
26 // when a node is updated. It is guaranteed to converge to a local minimum.
