C++, Rust, .NET Performance profiler (sampled or instrumented) and analyzer, focused on game development. Proprietary Systemtap: Linux Programmable system tracing/probing tool; may be scripted to generate time- or performance-counter- or function-based profiles of the kernel and/or its userspace. Open source Valgrind: Linux, macOS, Solaris, Android
Several macros affect the definitions made by windows.h and the files it includes. UNICODE – when defined, this causes the generic text datatype TCHAR to be a synonym of WCHAR instead of CHAR, and all type-generic API functions and messages that work with text will be defined to the -W versions instead of the -A versions.
In computer programming, profile-guided optimization (PGO, sometimes pronounced as pogo [1]), also known as profile-directed feedback (PDF) [2] or feedback-directed optimization (FDO), [3] is the compiler optimization technique of using prior analyses of software artifacts or behaviors ("profiling") to improve the expected runtime performance of the program.
In C++11, this technique is known as generalized constant expressions (constexpr). [2] C++14 relaxes the constraints on constexpr – allowing local declarations and use of conditionals and loops (the general restriction that all data required for the execution be available at compile-time remains).
As performance is part of the specification of a program – a program that is unusably slow is not fit for purpose: a video game with 60 Hz (frames-per-second) is acceptable, but 6 frames-per-second is unacceptably choppy – performance is a consideration from the start, to ensure that the system is able to deliver sufficient performance, and ...
Delayed evaluation solves this problem, and can be implemented in C++ by letting operator+ return an object of an auxiliary type, say VecSum, that represents the unevaluated sum of two Vecs, or a vector with a VecSum, etc. Larger expressions then effectively build expression trees that are evaluated only when assigned to an actual Vec variable ...
Slow lookup and access (linear time), but once a position has been found, quick insertion and deletion (constant time). slist: a singly linked list; elements are not stored in contiguous memory. Opposite performance from a vector. Slow lookup and access (linear time), but once a position has been found, quick insertion and deletion (constant time).
The Time Stamp Counter was once a high-resolution, low-overhead way for a program to get CPU timing information. With the advent of multi-core/hyper-threaded CPUs, systems with multiple CPUs, and hibernating operating systems, the TSC cannot be relied upon to provide accurate results — unless great care is taken to correct the possible flaws: rate of tick and whether all cores (processors ...
