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