Abstract

We describe Currawong, a tool to perform system soft- ware architecture optimisation. Currawong is an extensible, multi-language tool which applies optimisations across API boundaries. Unlike many existing optimisation tools, Curra- wong does not require source code to perform optimisations. We show, through examples written for the popular Android smartphone platform, that Currawong is capable of signifi- cant performance improvement to existing applications.
