Software performance optimisation reading group 2000-2001
- All welcome
- If you'd like to be on the email list (no commitment necessary) please contact Paul Kelly
- We usually meet on Tuesdays at 2pm
The focus for our weekly reading group is software performance optimisation
with specific emphasis on:
-
cross-component optimisation
-
run-time optimisation
-
profile-driven optimisation
-
adaptive optimisation, iterative compilation, self-optimisation, architecture-cognizance
-
the use of metadata, summary information and generating extensions in run-time
optimisation
We might also get drawn into
-
performance issues in operating systems and distributed object-oriented
applications
-
static analysis, especially with respect to pointers, aliasing, escape
analysis etc
-
custom computing, reconfigurable hardware, codesign, hardware-software
co-optimisation
-
Optimising communications protocols to reduce the number of messages, and improve concurrency.
This is a development of the very successful 1999-2000 focus on performance
optimisation of component-based
software; for details see here.
