Question
Chapter 5.12, Problem 5.12PP
Program Plan Intro
Given C code:
void psum1(float a[], float p[], long n)
{
long i;
p[0] = a[0];
for(i = 1; i<n ;i++);
p[i] = p[i-1]+a[i];
}
Cycles per element (CPE):
- The CPE denotes performance of program that helps in improving code.
- It helps to understand detailed level loop performance for an iterative program.
- It is appropriate for programs that use a repetitive computation.
- The processor’s activity sequencing is controlled by a clock that provides regular signal of some frequency.
Memory aliasing:
- It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
- The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
- The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
- If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
- The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.
