  abstract =     "Digital has developed two binary object modification
                 tools for program analysis and optimization on the
                 Digital UNIX version 4.0 operating system for the Alpha
                 platform. The technology originated from research
                 performed at Digital's Western Research Laboratory. The
                 OM object modification tool is a transformation tool
                 that focuses on postlink optimizations. OM can apply
                 powerful intermodule and interlanguage optimizations,
                 even to routines in system libraries. Atom, an analysis
                 tool with object modification, provides a flexible
                 framework for customizing the transformation process to
                 analyze a program. With Atom, compilation system
                 changes are not needed to create both simple and
                 sophisticated tools to directly diagnose or debug
                 application-specific performance problems. The linker
                 and loader are enhanced to support Atom. The
                 optimizations OM performs can be driven from
                 performance data generated with the Atom-based pixie
                 tool. Applying OM and Atom to commercial applications
                 provided performance improvements of up to 15
                 percent.",
