Revealing the secrets of the software tuning process, The Software Optimization Cookbook provides recipes for high-performance applications on the Intel® Pentium® III and Pentium® 4 processors. Simple explanations and C language examples show you how to address performance issues with algorithms, memory access, branching, SIMD instructions, multiple threads, and floating-point calculations. With this book, you need not be a processor architect or assembly language expert to get the full power out of your software on the 32-bit Intel Architecture.
Learn how to:
 | Use performance tools and tested concepts to analyze and improve applications |
| Determine which portions of an application should be given highest priority for optimizations |
| Identify the reasons that certain portions of your application are slower than they should be |
| Improve an application by working directly on the root cause of a software bottleneck |
| Design an application from the ground up for maximum performance
