When programming a microcontroller, there are some physical limitations that you’ll come across much earlier than programming a modern computer, whether that’s program size or even processor speed. To ...

[Editor's note: Part 2 shows how to optimize DSP kernels (i.e., inner loops), and how to write fast floating-point and fractional code. Part 4 explains why it is important to optimize “control code,” ...

What sets Codeflash apart, he argues, is that it operates not just as a one-time audit or consultancy (as many optimization firms do) but as a continuous engine: “Codeflash has beaten us at optimizing ...

[Editor's note: Part 2 of this series shows how to optimize DSP “kernels,” i.e., inner loops. For more programming tips, see the DSP programmer’s guide.] DSP applications typically have tough ...
