Advanced Optimisation for PA-8000 Processors

HP PA-RISC processors are widely used in high performance systems such as the HP V-Class server. The PA-8x00 series processors include the PA-8000, PA-8200 and PA-8500. The architecture and performance characteristics of these processors will be discussed. Understanding how to use the compiler effectively is very important when obtaining performance. The HP compilers, their options and directives/pragmas will be discussed. To improve performance further, source code may need to be modified. Techniques which improve performance of basic mathematical subprograms will be demonstrated. An efficient way to improve the performance of key algorithms is by using the HP Math LIBrary (MLIB). Use and performance of this product will be discussed.
