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 ...

Stencil computations form the backbone of many scientific and engineering simulations by updating each point in a structured grid based on a fixed pattern of neighbouring values. Achieving high ...

[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Not everyone will write their own optimizing compiler from scratch, but those who do sometimes roll into it during the course of ever-growing project scope creep. People like [Michael Moroz], who ...

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 ...

All major OEMs and software suppliers of the automotive industry are committed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A close look, though, raises questions on the demands ADAS applications ...
