Performance and Optimization of Multicore Systems
Abstract
This chapter addresses techniques to optimize multicore applications for performance. It all starts with a process. Then we review several tips and tricks to optimize software applications specifically for multicore. These include cache-based optimization techniques, communication latency reduction, kernel optimizations, and how to trigger other compiler optimizations. Multiple code examples are used, some directly from industry implementations of multicore for commercial products.
