As DSP processors become more powerful and compiler optimization techniques improve, the once common trend of writing DSP applications solely in assembly has withered away. Today, almost every DSP ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

These compilers provide strict ANSI support, as well as optional support for some popular extensions. This article focuses on the optimizations and features of the compiler for the Intel IA-32 ...

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 ...
