The role of compilers in computer-system performance

The compiler is a system code which translates the user's program into machine-executable code and thereby dictates the performance of the computer system. Here we present results obtained while benchmarking various FORTRAN compilers on Motorola 68020-based machines. Our results dramatically sh...

Zusammenfassung:The compiler is a system code which translates the user's program into machine-executable code and thereby dictates the performance of the computer system. Here we present results obtained while benchmarking various FORTRAN compilers on Motorola 68020-based machines. Our results dramatically show the effect of compilers on the performance of computing systems.
