Decreasing the Number of Memory Accesses: The Compiler’s Secret Life 2/2
Posted on Author Ivica BogosavljevićPosted in Help the Compiler, Memory Subsystem PerformanceLeave a Reply
We investigate memory loads and stores that the compiler inserts for us without our knowledge: “the compiler’s secret life”. We show that these loads and stores, although necessary for the compiler are not necessary for the correct functioning of our program. And finally, we explain how you can improve the performance of your program by removing them.
Loop Optimizations: interpreting the compiler optimization report
We introduce compiler optimization report, a useful tool if you wish to speed up your program by looking at what the compiler failed to optimize.
Making your program run faster: the key concepts of software performance
In this post we present key concepts of software performance engineering.
