An ought-to-be classic work on just this question is Fredrick Chow's thesis,
done under John Henessey:


Author: F.C. Chow
Title: A Portable Machine-independent Global Optimizer - Design and
                            Measurements
Report: CSL T.R. 83-254
Publisher: Computer Systems Laboratory, Stanford University
Availability: cost: $8.25
