Specializing the Java object serialization using partial evaluation for a faster RMI [remote method invocation]

The Java object serialization is designed generic method to handle all possible objects, and it performs a considerable amount of interpretation in determining the properties of objects before taking an appropriate action. In this paper, we present a mechanism by which the Java serialization is specialized using partial evaluation techniques to reduce the amount of interpretation that happens at run-time. Our approach specializes the serialization code using information about variables and arguments whose values or types are statically bound. To generate optimized code in a context-sensitive manner, it performs an interprocedural binding-time analysis. Performance measurements show an average 13% improvement in serialization, with some cases showing as high as an 18% improvement. Our approach is not restricted to serialization; rather we believe it gives a basis for a more general solution that is applicable to other aspects of Java applications
