overhead of the inner loop has been eliminated, further
increasing the performance advantage.
4.4.2
The code transformations of the previous section
achieved impressive performance improvements, but
given the VLIW nature of the PNX1300 CPU, more can
be done to exploit PNX1300’s parallelism.
The code in
erations (excluding loop overhead). Since PNX1300’s
branches have a 3-instruction delay and each instruction
can contain up to 5 operations, a fully utilized minimum-
sized loop can contain 16 operations (20 minus loop
overhead).
The PNX1300 compilation system performs a wide vari-
ety of powerful code transformation and scheduling opti-
mizations to ensure that the VLIW capabilities of the
CPU are exploited. It is still wise, however, to make pro-
gram parallelism explicit in source code when possible.
Explicit parallelism can only help the compiler produce a
fast running program.
To this end, we can unroll the loop of
number of times to create explicit parallelism and help
the compiler create a fast running loop. In this case,
where the number of iterations is a power-of-two, it
makes sense to unroll by a factor that is a power-of-two
to create clean code.

The compiler can apply common sub-expression elimi-
nation and other optimizations to eliminate extraneous
operations in the array indexing, but, again, improve-
ments in the source code can only help the compiler pro-
duce the best possible code and fastest-running pro-
gram.
