Ershov Number
Ershov numbers are used in code optimization to minimize the amount of register allocations. Ershov numbers can be used in methods to optimally select registers when there is only one expression in a code block. Given an expression E = E1 op E2 the goal is to generate code so as to either minimize the number of registers used, or, if an insufficient number of registers is available, to minimize the number of nonregister temporaries required.
