[For more on this topic, see Optimizing Compilers and Embedded DSP Software and Get better DSP code from your compiler] As DSP processors become more and more powerful, the portion of code that can ...

In this excerpt from his book “Write Great Code,” Randall Hyde introduces the common optimizations that compilers perform, and when a programmer should consider using or disabling them. Later chapters ...

In a previous blog post, we discussed the benefits of using automation to maximize the performance of a system. One use case I mentioned was compiler flag mining, and the fact that performance is ...

In this article, we explore the optimization levels provided by the GCC compiler toolchain, including the specific optimizations provided in each. We also identify optimizations that require explicit ...

Optimizing MySQL database performance, especially in heavy demand public cloud services, is a key challenge for data base administrators. IT operations and maintenance developers have found that just ...

I'm mostly an Analog type of guy, but I write code and I do my share of embedded design. It's hard to ignore the power that those little single chip processors give us in our complex analog designs.

Redis and Intel teamed up to find out whether applying more aggressive optimization options would improve overall Redis baseline performance. Our conclusion: By changing the compiler behavior, we ...

In 2020, our digital world and the software we use to create it are a towering structure, built upon countless layers of abstraction and building blocks — just think about all the translations and ...

In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the ...
