Source Code Optimization Techniques for Data Flow Dominated Embedded Software

This book focuses on source-to-source code transformations that remove addressing-related overhead present in most multimedia or signal processing application programs. This approach is complementary to existing compiler technology. What is particularly attractive about the transformation flow pre­ sented here is that its behavior is nearly independent of the target processor platform and the underlying compiler. Hence, the different source code trans­ formations developed here lead to impressiv
