Compiler optimization — is the process of tuning the output of a compiler to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. The most common requirement is to minimize the time taken to execute a program; a less common one is to minimize the… … Wikipedia
Memory barrier — Memory barrier, also known as membar or memory fence or fence instruction, is a type of barrier and a class of instruction which causes a central processing unit (CPU) or compiler to enforce an ordering constraint on memory operations issued… … Wikipedia
Memory ordering — is a group of properties of the modern microprocessors, characterising their possibilities in memory operations reordering. It is a type of out of order execution. Memory reordering can be used to fully utilize different cache and memory banks.… … Wikipedia
Compiler Description Language — Compiler Description Language, or CDL, is a Computer language based on affix grammars. It is very similar to Backus–Naur form(BNF) notation. It was designed for the development of compilers. It is very limited in its capabilities and control… … Wikipedia
Memory segmentation — is the division of computer memory into segments or sections. Segments or sections are also used in object files of compiled programs when they are linked together into a program image, or the image is loaded into memory. In a computer system… … Wikipedia
Memory footprint — refers to the amount of main memory that a program uses or references while running. This includes all sorts of active memory regions like code, static data sections (both initialized and uninitialized), heap, as well as all the stacks, plus… … Wikipedia
