Optimizing MySQL database performance, especially in heavy demand public cloud services, is a key challenge for data base administrators. IT operations and maintenance developers have found that just ...

How jump threading works in general to improve program execution speeds, and how Codasip’s jump threading pass works in particular. The architectural efficiency of embedded processor IP is measured by ...

In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the ...

We looked last week at some of the things that can influence the speed of programming languages and how different approaches to running code can influence program performance. Some work described by ...

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 ...

The increasing acceptance of Linux among developers and researchers has yet to be matched by a similar increase in the number of available development tools. The recently released Intel C++ and ...
