Speaker: Ron Shaposhnikov Title: Post-linker optimizations techniques I'll describe the goal and some algorithms of post-linker stage of executable/library creation. I'll talk about how to instrument, profile, and re-structure/optimize executables/libraries for the DSP processors architecture. The optimizations include utilization of the (instruction) memory hierarchy, branch alignment, dead code elimina­tion etc. These optimizations are known to be critical for embedded applications.
