I am interested in doing a long term (1.5 years) project with g++
related to optimization for a masters thesis in computer engineering.
More specifically, optimization that would have its greatest impact on
scientific code written in C++. Target platform could be either PowerPC
or x86. I have already looked at gcc's website on the subject of
optimization deficiencies without much luck. These projects either
seemed too small or not related to scientific computing applications. If
anyone has some ideas please let me know.
I'm working on various ideas in this area; you'll find some of my
preliminary work at:
http://www.coyotegulch.com/acovea/index.html
That article will be revised later this week, as soon as my SPARC system
finishes its evaluations of GCC optimizations.
I'm also rewriting an earlier article I'd written to compare the
floating-point performance of several languages and compilers for Linux;
the new "number crunching article" will be out before the end of the
year, with a half-dozen benchmarks and better analysis.
