Features: This book systematically and comprehensively introduces various code optimization programming techniques. The book is divided into 4 chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on program profiling techniques, which are used to identify the hotspots in a program that consume the most CPU clock cycles, as well as practical knowledge of typical profiling tools. Chapters 2 and 3 respectively provide a thorough introduction to code optimization techniques for RAM systems and high-speed cache subsystems. Chapter 4 primarily introduces machine code optimization techniques. Each chapter discusses fundamental principles while providing detailed code examples and quantitative analysis of optimization performance. This book is particularly suitable for application programmers and system programmers for learning and development. At the same time, it also has certain reference value for hardware professionals and technical workers.
