Program Plan Intro

Given C code:

double aprod(double a[], long n)

{

long i;

double x, y, z;

double r = 1;

for(i=0; i<n-2; i+=3)

{

x = a[i];

y = a[i + 1];

z = a[i+2];

r = r*x*y*z;

}

for(;i<n ; i++)

r*=a[i];

return r;

}

Cycles per element (CPE):

  • The CPE denotes performance of program that helps in improving code.
  • It helps to understand detailed level loop performance for an iterative program.
  • It is appropriate for programs that use a repetitive computation.
  • The processor’s activity sequencing is controlled by a clock that provides regular signal of some frequency.

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

Dynamic Programming) Recall the rod cutting problem. We are given a non-negative integer n and an array P[1..n] of prices. We wish to cut the rod into a number of pieces whose lengths sum to n in order to sell the pieces. We are paid P[i] for selling a piece of length i. Our goal is to find the maximum total selling price for our pieces of rod. Consider a variant of the problem where we can cut the rod into at most k pieces where k ≤ n is given as part of the input. Describe an efficient algorithm for this version of the problem.
