A shekarar 1962, an mayar da Allen zuwa Cibiyar Bincike ta Thomas J. Watson, inda ta ba da gudummawa ga aikin ACS-1, daga baya kuma a shekarun 1970, zuwa PL/I . A cikin waɗannan shekarun, ta yi aiki tare da abokin bincikenta John Cocke don rubuta jerin takardu masu mahimmanci kan inganta masu haɗa na'urori, wanda ya taimaka wajen inganta ingancin lambar na'ura da aka fassara daga harsunan babban mataki. Sun kuma ƙirƙiri mai haɗa na'ura mai haɗa na'ura don Fortran, kuma mai haɗa na'ura daga ƙarshe ya sarrafa Autocoder da Alpha.

Allen ta fara buga takardu kan inganta masu tarawa domin ta raba iliminta ga sauran masu bincike. Littattafan ta na farko sun haɗa da "Program Optimization" da "Control Flow Analysis". Allen da Cocke sun buga "A Catalog of Optimizing Transformations" a shekarar 1972, wanda ya tsara dabarun inganta masu tarawa. Ana ɗaukar aikin a matsayin ɗaya daga cikin mafi mahimmancin dabarun ta, kuma ya ƙunshi manyan dabarun tarawa kamar layin tsari, buɗe madauki, kawar da ƙananan maganganu, motsi na lamba, da inganta peephole .
