Session 4.3a Performance Tuning (Main Room)

Date: Wednesday, August 3, 2022

Bob Sinkovits (sinkovit at sdsc.edu)

This session is targeted at attendees who both do their own code development and need their calculations to finish as quickly as possible. We will cover the effective use of cache, loop-level optimizations, force reductions, optimizing compilers and their limitations, short-circuiting, time-space tradeoffs and more. Exercises will be done mostly in C, but emphasis will be on general techniques that can be applied in any language.
