The language of Android is Java and Java is slightly different to some of the other popular mainstream programming languages in that it compiles to an intermediate code (often known as bytecode) and ...

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 ...

A programming language compiler that enhances the performance and/or reduces the size of the resulting machine program. Optimizing compilers require multiple passes in order to analyze the entire ...

Java compilers take center stage in this second article in the JVM performance optimization series. Eva Andreasson introduces the different breeds of compiler and compares performance results from ...

[Editor's note: This paper was presented at ESC Boston 2006. For more papers from this conference, see Embedded.com.] Since many DSP systems are real-time systems, at least one (and probably more) of ...

[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 ...

Since many DSP systems are real-time systems, at least one (and probably more) of these indices must be optimized. It is difficult (and usually impossible) to optimize all these performance indices at ...

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 ...
