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

Lab
