Analyzing the Feasibility Scheme of Compiler Optimization Techniques for Increasing Efficiency

摘要

Different compilers offer different kind and different level of optimization techniques. These days, the scale of applications is increasing rapidly. This increase in the size demands more complex applications being developed. This results in an imbalance of resource capability and application demand. To take the maximum of existing resources, compiler optimization techniques are used. There are current compiler optimization techniques for single core processors. But the use of these optimization techniques requires expert level knowledge. Optimization of compiler means minimization or maximization or various objectives. These objectives may be latency, size, power requirement, etc. Importance of these objectives may vary from one application to other. This paper illustrates the analysis of existing optimization techniques, which are available for single-core processor systems. The speed-up analysis of different applications is performed, and architecture level features are extracted. Analysis graphs are generated at the end to show the effect of various program features on the applicability of optimization techniques.
