However, compilers cannot produce optimized code without assistance from the programmer. To maximize the performance, the programmer must tune the compiler using various compilation options.

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.

That improvement comes purely from optimization strategies that were already part of the compiler the researchers modified, which was designed to compile conventional, serial programs.

The company claims that a new optimization process added to the compiler gives C166/ST10 developers an average of 2.5% increase in code compression. The Data Flow Analysis Peephole optimization is ...

Furthermore, they claim that the LLM Compiler has demonstrated enormous efficiency in code size optimization, achieving 77% of the optimizing potential of an autotuning search in their experiments.

These are exciting times for computing, where context aware reasoning and domain specific compiler optimizations could represent an entirely new level of computing.

This technique should generally be used at the end of the optimization process. Increasing Demands Compiler optimization technologies are continually advancing. As the demand placed on embedded ...

The compiler’s profile-guided optimization features use runtime profiling data to identify hot spots and bottlenecks and suggest source code changes that can improve further optimizations.

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 ...

Android engineers at Google added support for the Java and Kotlin programming languages to Compiler Explorer, an open source tool aimed at exploring how compilers work by compiling code in real ...
