Program Plan Intro

Given C code:

void combine5(vec_ptr v, data_t *dest)

{

long i;

long length = vec_length(v);

long limit = length – 1;

data_t *data = get_vec_start(v);

data_t acc = IDENT;

for(i=0; i<limit ; i+=2)

{

acc = (acc OP data[i]) OP data[i+1];

}

for(; i<length ; i++)

{

acc = acc OP data[i];

}

*dest = acc;

}

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

Loop unrolling:

  • It denotes a program transformation that would reduce count of iterations for a loop.
  • It increases count of elements computed in each iteration.
  • It reduces number of operations that is not dependent to program directly.
  • It reduces count of operations in critical paths of overall computations.

Save the file as SC_EX19_EOM2-1_FirstLastNamexlsx by changing the “1” to a “2”. If you do not see the .xlsx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically. With the file SC_EX19_EOM2-1_FirstLastNamexlsx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in cell B6 of the Documentation sheet. If cell B6 does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website. Brad Kauffman is the senior director of projects for Rivera Engineering in Miami, Florida.
