This is a bit like asking a group of English professors, "are there
any other authors besides Steinbeck, Dickens, Dostoevsky, and
Shakespeare that I should know about?"


Why yes, yes there are. The compiler field is huge--at this point,
there probably isn't a single person that knows more than an
appreciable fraction of what there is to know about
optimization. There are a handful of good books on compilers, and at
least 3 major academic conferences that are still full of optimization
and runtime tuning ideas. Look at the proceedings of PLDI, CC, LCTES,
CGO, etc for the past N years.


Before you rush out to study a bunch of irrelevant and esoteric
research, perhaps you could focus your problem a bit better. If there
is an application that you are interested in optimizing, or a class of
applications, perhaps you should try using a good profiler to
determine where the hot spots in the code are, and focusing
optimization efforts on those? Perhaps there are better worst-case
algorithms for the core of the problem, and focusing on compiler
optimizations is premature?


The open-endedness of your question makes it hard for anyone to pin
down just what it is you are after.
