Optimizing code through iterative specialization
Minhaj Ahmad Khan, Henri‐Pierre Charles, Denis Barthou · 2008
Code specialization is a way to obtain significant improvement in the performance of an application. It works by exposing values of different parameters in source code. The availability of these specialized values enables the compilers to generate better optimized code. Although most of the efficient source code implementations contain specialized code to benefit from these optimizations, the real impact of specialization may however vary depending upon the value of the specializing parameter.
