1. 1. Extending the Scope of Compile-time Optimizations Across Synchronization Operations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Andreas Scherman; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the rise of multiprocessor computers, parallel computing has become a necessity in order to achieve high performance. Modern compilers are conservative in applying classical compiler optimizations to parallel programs, as the compiler might require expensive whole-code analysis in order to preserve the semantics and correctness of the code, to ensure no data races are introduced through optimizations.

   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Modern CPUs rely on expensive branch predictors to speed up execution. Predictions nevertheless imply speculation, which is inherently costly, as mispredictions and re-execution of instructions can not only slow down execution but require extra energy expenditure. READ MORE
