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.

Take C for example. It's easy to define an integer, but the default integer size can vary, depending upon the compiler, target, and compiler optimization settings.

Over the past few years a significant change has happened in the single chip embedded world – Both Microchip and Atmel offer unrestricted size and device versions of their C compilers for their uPs.

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 ...

To create efficient applications written in a high-level language like C++, developers usually turn to compiler optimizations. Green Hills Software's latest toolchain includes a number of new ...

In the first part of this two part series, we outlined the main reasons we designed the mAgic DSP architecture with C programmability in mind. In this article we'll explore how to get the most out of ...

Older CPUs and some fairly modern microcontrollers are not made to readily support C compilers. Among those are the 1802, some 8-bit PICs, and the 6502 at the heart of the Commodore 64. That’s ...

Meta unveils LLM Compiler, an AI-powered suite of models revolutionizing code optimization and compilation, promising faster, more efficient software development and new frontiers in AI-assisted ...
