Résumé

This book is a practical guide to optimizing programs for IBM PC platforms and those that work with the Windows and Unix family operating systems. The author covers the expediency of optimization and a way to increase the speed of programs by optimizing them.
In the book, you will find a detailed description of the devices and mechanism of interaction of the computer components, effective ways of programming, and a technique for optimizing programs, both on the machine code level and on the data structure level. You'll find out how you can effectively implement programming methods in a high-level language that are usually done in assembler. Particular attention will be given to the RAM subsystem. You will also come across the working principles of the RAM and the way in which it is coupled with the processor. You'll find a description of programming methods that allow you to overclock the memory to reach maximum performance.
A comparative analysis of optimizing C/C++ compilers is made. Methods of automatic optimization are considered, and it will be possible to estimate their effectiveness compared to manual code generation. Finally, you'll find information on the technology for creating a maximally effective program, based on the author's own personal experience. Simple explanations and numerous examples show you how to address performance issues with algorithms of effective memory usage in different PC architectures. The CD-ROM that comes with the book contains source codes of utilities developed by the author for tuning the hardware and software to reach their maximum performance and for finding bottlenecks in the system.
