Modern compilers can work on many platforms and implement a lot of optimizations, which are not always tuned well for every target platform. In the paper we present the Tool for Automatic Compiler Tuning (TACT), which helps to identify such underperforming compiler optimizations. Using GCC for ARM, we show how this tool can be used to improve performance of several popular applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
