Abstract

Legacy scientific codes are often repurposed to fit adaptive needs, but making such code adaptive without changing the original source programs can be challenging. Adaptive Code Collage (ACC) meets this challenge using function-call interception in a language-neutral way at link time, transparently "catching" and redirecting function calls.
