Genetic Algorithms for GCC Optimization

Posted by Hemos on from the cool-usage dept.

captain igor writes "For the power users in the house that enjoy taking the time to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their programs, here's an interesting little program I ran across today call Acovea. Out since 2003, Acovea's main function is using genetic algorithms to determine an optimal set off Gcc optimization flags to squeeze the most performance out of a given program. Certainly an interesting concept, definitely worth a look. Some nice results on a P4 and Opteron can be found here "
