Types of Instruction Scheduling
There are several types of instruction scheduling:
- Local (Basic Block) Scheduling: instructions can't move across basic block boundaries.
- Global scheduling: instructions can move across basic block boundaries.
- Modulo Scheduling: another name for software pipelining, which is a form of instruction scheduling that interleaves different iterations of a loop.
- Trace scheduling: the first practical approach for global scheduling, trace scheduling tries to optimize the control flow path that is executed most often.
- Superblock scheduling: a simplified form of trace scheduling which does not attempt to merge control flow paths at trace "side entrances". Instead, code can be implemented by more than one schedule, vastly simplifying the code generator.

“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“One year, I’d completely lost my bearings trying to follow potty training instruction from a psychiatric expert. I was stuck on step on, which stated without an atom of irony: “Before you begin, remove all stubbornness from the child.” . . . I knew it only could have been written by someone whose suit coat was still spotless at the end of the day, not someone who had any hands-on experience with an actual two-year-old.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
