Program optimization is the process of changing the organization of a software systems so as to optimize resource utilization. When the program to be optimized is an application program rather than a systems program, the factors to be optimized are very much simplified and usually involves, in priority order i) CPU time ii) I/0 processor time iii) storage requirement This project involved making performance measurements on a particular software, namely STAGE2 macroprocessor and on the strength of the information thus gained, change the organization of the software so as to produce an optimal version.
