Investigate whether there's any option for optimising the algorithm before optimising the code. It'll be easier to find an improvement in performance by optimising a poor algorithm than it is to optimise the …

Turning on compiler optimization does the trick, but the customer is wary of doing so because they have caused failures in the past. So, what are some common things to look for when refactoring C code to …

Here are two versions of your method compiled with and without optimization (using the C# 5 compiler), with extraneous labels (and nop instructions) removed to make them as easy to compare as possible:

Firstly, doing loop unrolling on Java source code is hardly ever a good idea. The reason javac doesn't do much in the way of optimization is that it's done by the JIT compiler in the JVM, which can make …

Without optimizations the compiler produces very dumb code - each command is compiled in a very straightforward manner, so that it does the intended thing. The Debug builds have optimizations …

Can I have a great list of common C++ optimization practices? What I mean by optimization is that you have to modify the source code to be able to run a program faster, not changing the compiler

I don't think questions about code optimization are off topic on Stack Overflow. If you claim otherwise, kindly state your sources. Essentially, Code Review is a sub-set of SO, where you might get better …

5 I tried to reconstruct the optimization steps of the binary search algorithm. I start with this iterative version:

I ran into this question when i was answering another guys question. How do compilers optimize the code? Can keywords like const, ... help? Beside the fact with volatiles and inline functions and h...

Aug 7, 2014 · The Build tab of the Project Properties in Visual Studio 2005/2008 contains the "Optimize code". The documentation states that it "... enables or disables optimizations performed by the …
