We attempt to apply the technique of Tracing JIT Compilers in the context of the PyPy project, i.e., to programs that are interpreters for some dynamic languages, including Python. Tracing JIT compilers can greatly speed up programs that spend most of their time in loops in which they take similar code paths. However, applying an unmodified tracing JIT to a program that is itself a bytecode interpreter results in very limited or no speedup. In this paper we show how to guide tracing JIT… Expand
