# Dataflow Analysis
Optimization means improving resource utilization not changing what the program computes.
Resource utilization means many things:
* **Execution time**
* Code size
* Network messages sent.
## Basic Block (BB)
A BB is a maximum sequence of instructions with **no labels**, **no jumps**
All instructions in a BB has fixed control flow.
## Control Flow Graph

## Local Optimization
### Algebraic Simplification
x := x + 0 -> x := 0
y := y ** 2 -> y := y * y
x := x * 8 -> x := x << 3
x := x * 15 -> t := x << 4; x := t - x
### Constant Folding
x := 2 + 2 -> x := 4
if 2 < 0 jump L -> nop
if 2 > 0 jump L -> jump L
But Constant folding can be dangerous on cross-compilation (in precision).
### Unreachable Code
### Dead Code Elimination
## Global Optimization
