US Patent 11188316 Performance optimization of class instance comparisons

An embodiment includes executing a code interpretation engine such that the interpretation engine interprets a first portion of a source code that includes a first comparison between a first pair of operands. The embodiment also includes performing, in memory, a first bitwise comparison between a block A1 and a block B1 of the first portion of the source code. The embodiment also speeds up execution of the first portion of the source code responsive to the first bitwise comparison producing a negative result. The embodiment speeds up the first portion by omitting at least one of (i) a second bitwise comparison between a block A2 and a block B2, and (ii) a field-wise comparison between a block A3 and a block B3.
