- Synopsis:
-
Within the course of Efficient software you will get familiar with the area of software and algorithm optimization under limited resources. The course is focused on the efficient usage of modern hardware architectures - multi-core and multi-processor systems with shared memory. Students will practically implmenet and use presented techniques in C and Java. Main topics are: code optimization, effective data structures and processor cache usage, data structures in multi-threaded applications and implementation of efficient network servers.
- Requirements:
-
background knowledge in area of Computer architecture, C and Java programming languages
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Introduction, modern computer architecture, compiler, profiling
2. Virtual machine, byte-code, (de-)compilers, disassembler, profiling
3. Benchmarking, measurements, statistics
4. Scalable synchronization
5. Data races, synchronization, atomic operations, non-blocking algorithms
6. Non-blocking I/O, C10K, efficient networking
7. Data structure serialization
8. Memory, caches, allocators
9. JVM - Memory analysis, data structures, collections for performance
10. JVM - Object allocation, bloom filters, references, effective caching
11. Memory Management in JVM - Memory Layout, Garbage Collectors
12. Virtualization (IOMMU, SR-IOV, PCI pass-through, virtio, .)
13. C program compilation and execution
