  2. Overhead (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_(computing)

    This creates a so-called protocol overhead as the additional data does not contribute to the intrinsic meaning of the message. [5] [6] In telephony, number dialing and call set-up time are overheads. In two-way (but half-duplex) radios, the use of "over" and other signaling needed to avoid collisions is an overhead.

  3. Zero-overhead looping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-overhead_looping

    This balances the advantages of unrolling with the overhead of repeating the loop.) Moreover, completely unrolling a loop is only possible for a limited number of loops: those whose number of iterations is known at compile time. For example, the following C code could be compiled and optimized into the following x86 assembly code:

  4. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Increased Code Size: Unrolling increases the number of instructions, leading to larger program binaries. Higher Storage Requirements: The expanded code takes up more memory, which can be problematic for microcontrollers or embedded systems with limited storage. Instruction Cache Pressure: The unrolled loop consumes more space in the instruction ...

  5. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Classical (algebraic) block codes and convolutional codes are frequently combined in concatenated coding schemes in which a short constraint-length Viterbi-decoded convolutional code does most of the work and a block code (usually Reed–Solomon) with larger symbol size and block length "mops up" any errors made by the convolutional decoder ...

  6. Loop nest optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_nest_optimization

    It needs to be larger than the "balance" number reported by streams. In the case of one particular 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 system used for this example, the balance number is 16.5. The second code example above cannot be extended directly, since that would require many more accumulator registers. Instead, the loop is blocked over i. (Technically ...

  7. Resource acquisition is initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_acquisition_is...

    With RAII, the code that locks the mutex essentially includes the logic that the lock will be released when execution leaves the scope of the RAII object. Another typical example is interacting with files: We could have an object that represents a file that is open for writing, wherein the file is opened in the constructor and closed when ...

  8. Object code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_code

    In computing, object code or object module is the product of an assembler or compiler. [1]In a general sense, object code is a sequence of statements or instructions in a computer language, [2] usually a machine code language (i.e., binary) or an intermediate language such as register transfer language (RTL).

  9. Virtual method table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table

    To avoid this overhead, compilers usually avoid using virtual method tables whenever the call can be resolved at compile time. Thus, the call to f1 above may not require a table lookup because the compiler may be able to tell that d can only hold a D at this point, and D does not override f1 .
