Goals

  • Exercises

    • Profile code

    • Identify type instability via code inspection macros

    • Identify opportunities for optimziation

      • Writing type stable functions

      • Optimize performance by reducing memory allocaitons

    • Optimize code for serial execution

  • Project

    • Profile code to identify code worth optimizing

    • Document code to increase chances of useful feedback from peer code review

Readings

  • Prior to Monday's class

    • Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers Ch 2: Serial Optimization (26pg) and/or

    • Performance Tips (just the bold section headings is enough for now; come back to read more about any specific tip when it applies to your project)

Lab

Lab 5: Serial Optimizations: Profiling, Type Stability, Code Inspection & Optimization Patterns (due Sept 27)
