Nvidia patents compiler trick to speed up how software finds data in memory
Nvidia describes a method where a software compiler changes how programs point to data in computer memory. By modifying the starting address of data during the compilation process, the system aims to make the computer run code more efficiently.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to transform addresses of information in storage. In at least one embodiment, a compiler identifies and transforms a portion of a dynamic address in an intermediate representation during compiling in order to optimize software performance at runtime.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A processor comprising: one or more circuits to cause a compiler to transform a base address portion of one or more addresses of information in storage, wherein the one or more addresses comprise the base address portion and an offset portion.
