A physical design automation system produces an optimal placement of microelectronic components or cells on an integrate circuit chip. An initial population of possible cell placements is generated, and repeatedly altered using simulated on or other fitness improvement algorithm to progressively increase the fitnesses (decrease the costs) of the placements. After each alteration step, the fitnesses of the placements are calculated, and less fit placements are discarded in favor of more fit placements. After a termination criterion is reached, the placement having the highest fitness is designated as the optimal placement. Two or more fitness improvement algorithms are available, and are optimally switched from one to the other in accordance with an optimization criterion to maximize convergence of the placements toward the optimal configuration.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and data processing system to improve runtime performance of executable program code when executed on the data-processing system. During execution, data is collected and analyzed to identify runtime behavior of the program code. Heuristic models are applied to select region(s) of the program code where application of a performance improvement algorithm is expected to improve runtime performance. Each selected region is recompiled using selected performance improvement algorithm(s) for that region to generate corresponding recompiled region(s), and the program code is modified to replace invocations of each selected region with invocations of the corresponding recompiled region. Alternatively or additionally, the program code may be recompiled to be adapted to characteristics of the execution environment of the data processing system. The process may be carried out in a continuous recursive manner while the program code executes, or may be carried out a finite number of times.
