[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 ...

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 ...

We evaluated the performance impact of compilers and flags using performance automation, as we discussed in Introducing the Redis/Intel Benchmarks Specification for Performance Testing, Profiling, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

IBM has broadened its Linux on POWER offering to include support for Linux little Endian distributions running on IBM POWER8 systems. One great way to boost the performance of your POWER8 systems is ...

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 ...

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 ...
