I am looking for a tool that suggests optimized logic for various modules/functions written in C language.

The tool should support for memory based optimization that greatly helps in memory/ cost constraint systems, speed based optimization that greatly decides the performance in certain projects, perfect algorithm/logic required for a particular scenario, and other optimization techniques applicable. It should probably have an option that could decide the type of optimization required for the user for the particular module. May be there can be an option called 'general optimization' that would apply all optimization techniques to a certain level only in a balanced manner. If the user is particular about certain particular optimization, Once the type of optimization is got as input from the user, even the level of optimization can be got from the user by having some flags/options for defining different levels of optimization . It could also tell the bottlenecks in the code and that would greatly help in optimizing the right piece of code. Maybe a profiler should also be part of it. The tool can also display graphs that could give comparitive analysis of speed improvement vs memory usage vs various levels of various kinds of optimization techniques. It can also suggest the best possible number of threads required, message queues required for a particular logic and define that logic. It can remove off redundant threads, interrupts or timers etc and add if required for an efficient logic that it could suggest to the user. Maybe, it can also suggest various processors and the relative performance w.r.t memory, speed and cost for those . It could also suggest if we need to go in for a multicore and if so , it can suggest the number of cores and the kind of processor ! Karthik Balaguru

A case of over-optimisation, if there ever was one. ;-) |
