Given a transformation between input and output values, described by a mathematical function, optimization deals with generating and selecting the best solution from some set of available alternatives, by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the output of the function and recording the best output values found during the process.
In computer science, program optimization, code optimization, or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources. [1]
An approach to isolating optimization is the use of so-called post-pass optimizers (some commercial versions of which date back to mainframe software of the late 1970s). [18] These tools take the executable output by an optimizing compiler and optimize it even further.

Profiling results can be used to guide the design and optimization of an individual algorithm; the Krauss matching wildcards algorithm is an example. [5] Profilers are built into some application performance management systems that aggregate profiling data to provide insight into transaction workloads in distributed applications.
Process optimization is the discipline of adjusting a process so as to make the best or most effective use of some specified set of parameters without violating some constraint. Common goals are minimizing cost and maximizing throughput and/or efficiency. Process optimization is one of the major quantitative tools in industrial decision making.
In computer science, code motion, also known as code hoisting, code sinking, loop-invariant code motion, or code factoring, is a blanket term for any process that moves code within a program for performance or size benefits, and is a common optimization performed in most optimizing compilers. It can be difficult to differentiate between ...
In computer science, program analysis [1] is the process of analyzing the behavior of computer programs regarding a property such as correctness, robustness, safety and liveness. Program analysis focuses on two major areas: program optimization and program correctness. The first focuses on improving the program’s performance while reducing ...
