Programming languages, such as JavaScript, Ruby or Python, rely on a managed runtime to reach state-of-the-art performance (see respectively V8, JRuby, PyPy). Such runtime systems apply aggressive optimisations based on speculative assumptions: one common assumption is that the behaviour of a program remains mostly homogeneous at run time. However, literature on the run-time behaviour of programs shows that programs contain several distinct phases (i.e. intervals of time exhibiting a distinct and relatively homogeneous behaviour) and that these phases may also repeat. For instance, the backend of a scientific computation web server can be viewed as such a program: first it analyses the user request, then computes statistics on received data and lastly outputs a plot.

In this talk, we discuss how programming language implementations overlook phases in program behaviour, and we investigate how they could benefit from recognising and adapting to behaviour changes between phases.
