Optimizer books and online material?

I see lots of info/books online about parsing techniques and compiler/
construction. But can anyone point me to a good reading material if I
want to learn about optimization techniques? Most compiler
construction books i've read does not deal well with this ... I prefer
online materials over hardcopy books ... unusual it may seem.

The most thorough treatment I've found is (the book)

You can read the book mentioned below online too, but need to pay for
it at the publisher's webside (Addison Wesley):-

The 2nd edition of the dragon book is out, and it contains some info
on newer optimization techniques esp at the instruction level.

the alleged britney spears sex tape!

http://celebsvips.com/b1.jpg

Looks like the alleged Britney Spears K-fed tapes may have finally gotten into the wrong hands. Britney should try investing a tiny percentage of her money into a decent camera! Funny how a video surfaces a day after their divorce. Looks like Kevin is out for revenge!

A source told US W

ly magazine: "He has threatened to release raunchy footage of the two taken before Spears looked pregnant."

This is the hottest scandal since the release of the Paris Hilton Sex Tape! Its not conclusive but damn, if thats Britney she can really wax a pole! This is what weve all been waiting for.
