Overview
The hands-on guide to high-performance coding and algorithm optimization.
This hands-on guide to software optimization introduces state-of-the-art solutions for every key aspect of software performance Β both code-based and algorithm-based.
Two leading HP software performance experts offer comparative optimization strategies for RISC and for the new Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) design used in Intel IA-64 processors. Using many practical examples, they offer specific techniques for:
- Predicting and measuring performance Β and identifying your best optimization opportunities
- Storage optimization: cache, system memory, virtual memory, and I/0
- Parallel processing: distributed-memory and shared-memory (SMP and ccNUMA)
- Compilers and loop optimization
- Enhancing parallelism: compiler directives, threads, and message passing
- Mathematical libraries and algorithms
Whether you're a developer, ISV, or technical researcher, if you need to optimize high-performance software on today's leading processors, one book delivers the advanced techniques and code examples you need: Software Optimization for High Performance Computing.
