The building blocks of today's embedded systems-on-a-chip are
complex IP components and programmable processor cores. This means
that more and more system functionality is implemented in software
rather than in custom hardware. In turn, this indicates a growing
need for high-level language compilers, capable of generating
efficient code for embedded processors. However, traditional
compiler technology hardly keeps pace with new developments in
embedded processor architectures. Many existing compilers for DSPs
and multimedia processors therefore produce code of insufficient
quality with respect to performance and/or code size, and a large
part of software for embedded systems is still being developed in
assembly languages. As both embedded software as well as processors
architectures are getting more and more complex, assembly
programming clearly violates the demands for a short time-to-market
and high dependability in embedded system design. The goal of this
book is to provide new methods and techniques to software and
compiler developers, that help to make the necessary step from
assembly programming to the use of compilers also in embedded
system design. Code Optimization Techniques for Embedded Processors
discusses the state-of-the-art in the area of compilers for
embedded processors. It presents a collection of new code
optimization techniques, dedicated to DSP and multimedia
processors. These include: compiler support for DSP address
generation units, efficient mapping of data flow graphs to
irregular architectures, exploitation of SIMD and conditional
instructions, as well as function inlining under code size
constraints. Comprehensive experimental evaluations are given
forreal-life processors, that indicate the code quality
improvements which can be achieved as compared to earlier
techniques. In addition, C compiler frontend issues are discussed
from a practical viewpoint. Code Optimization Techniques for
Embedded Processors is intended for researchers and engineers
active in software development for embedded systems, and for
compiler developers in academia and industry.
