MCS-388 Homework 5 (Spring 2006)

Due: April 28, 2006

Do Exercise 10.1 on pages 711-712 of the textbook, but skip parts b, e, and h, and see below for some modifications. Also, briefly describe any major opportunities for optimizing this routine that are not covered by the exercise. Keep in mind that on contemporary machines, it is memory accesses that are generally the most time consuming operations.

Assume that the arrays a, b, and c are indexed from 1 to n in each dimension. Assume that you know at compile time that n is 300 and that the arrays a, b, and c start at addresses 10000, 4000000, and 6000000, respectively.

Because you know that n≥1, you know that each loop will execute at least once. Take advantage of this fact by having each loop execute its test only after it has made it through the loop body.



    t1 := i * n
    t2 := t1 + j
    t1 := i * n
    t1 := t1 + j
