Chapter 3
Programs
Abstract
This chapter covers programs. The back end of the compilation process, which helps determine the quality of the code, is the first topic. The chapter extensively covers memory system optimizations since memory behavior is a prime determinant of both performance and energy consumption. It covers performance analysis including both simulation and worst-case execution time analysis. It also considers how models of computing are reflected in programming models and languages.
