我想这已经用不同的方式说过了。但是当你在处理一个处理器密集型算法时，你应该以牺牲其他所有东西为代价来简化最内部循环中的所有东西。

That may seem obvious to some, but it's something I try to focus on regardless of the language I'm working with. If you're dealing with nested loops, for example, and you find an opportunity to take some code down a level, you can in some cases drastically speed up your code. As another example, there are the little things to think about like working with integers instead of floating point variables whenever you can, and using multiplication instead of division whenever you can. Again, these are things that should be considered for your most inner loop.

有时，您可能会发现在内循环中对整数执行数学运算的好处，然后将其缩小为随后可以使用的浮点变量。这是一个牺牲一个部分的速度来提高另一个部分的速度的例子，但在某些情况下，这样做是值得的。

缓存!要使几乎任何事情都变得更快，一个便宜的方法(在程序员的努力中)是在程序的任何数据移动区域添加缓存抽象层。无论是I/O还是只是传递/创建对象或结构。通常，向工厂类和读取器/写入器添加缓存是很容易的。

有时缓存不会给你带来太多好处，但这是一种简单的方法，只需添加缓存，然后在没有帮助的地方禁用它。我经常发现这样做可以获得巨大的性能，而无需对代码进行微观分析。

虽然我喜欢Mike Dunlavey的回答，但事实上这是一个很好的答案，并且有支持的例子，我认为它可以简单地表达出来:

首先找出哪些事情最耗费时间，并了解原因。

它是时间消耗的识别过程，可以帮助您了解必须在哪里改进算法。这是我能找到的唯一一个全面的语言不可知论答案，这个问题已经被认为是完全优化的。同时假设您希望在追求速度的过程中独立于体系结构。

因此，虽然算法可能被优化了，但它的实现可能没有。标识可以让您知道哪个部分是哪个部分:算法或实现。所以，占用时间最多的就是你审查的首选对象。但是既然你说你想把最后的%挤出来，你可能还想检查一下较小的部分，那些你一开始没有仔细检查过的部分。

最后，对实现相同解决方案的不同方法的性能数据进行一些尝试和错误，或者可能的不同算法，可以带来有助于识别浪费时间和节省时间的见解。

HPH, asoudmove。

首先，正如前面几个回答中提到的，了解是什么影响了您的性能——是内存、处理器、网络、数据库还是其他东西。这取决于…

...if it's memory - find one of the books written long time ago by Knuth, one of "The Art of Computer Programming" series. Most likely it's one about sorting and search - if my memory is wrong then you'll have to find out in which he talks about how to deal with slow tape data storage. Mentally transform his memory/tape pair into your pair of cache/main memory (or in pair of L1/L2 cache) respectively. Study all the tricks he describes - if you don's find something that solves your problem, then hire professional computer scientist to conduct a professional research. If your memory issue is by chance with FFT (cache misses at bit-reversed indexes when doing radix-2 butterflies) then don't hire a scientist - instead, manually optimize passes one-by-one until you're either win or get to dead end. You mentioned squeeze out up to the last few percent right? If it's few indeed you'll most likely win. ...if it's processor - switch to assembly language. Study processor specification - what takes ticks, VLIW, SIMD. Function calls are most likely replaceable tick-eaters. Learn loop transformations - pipeline, unroll. Multiplies and divisions might be replaceable / interpolated with bit shifts (multiplies by small integers might be replaceable with additions). Try tricks with shorter data - if you're lucky one instruction with 64 bits might turn out replaceable with two on 32 or even 4 on 16 or 8 on 8 bits go figure. Try also longer data - eg your float calculations might turn out slower than double ones at particular processor. If you have trigonometric stuff, fight it with pre-calculated tables; also keep in mind that sine of small value might be replaced with that value if loss of precision is within allowed limits. ...if it's network - think of compressing data you pass over it. Replace XML transfer with binary. Study protocols. Try UDP instead of TCP if you can somehow handle data loss. ...if it's database, well, go to any database forum and ask for advice. In-memory data-grid, optimizing query plan etc etc etc.

HTH:)

您可能应该考虑“谷歌视角”，即确定您的应用程序如何在很大程度上实现并行和并发，这也不可避免地意味着在某种程度上考虑将您的应用程序分布在不同的机器和网络上，这样它就可以理想地与您投入的硬件几乎线性扩展。

另一方面，谷歌人员也以投入大量人力和资源来解决他们正在使用的项目、工具和基础设施中的一些问题而闻名，例如，通过拥有一个专门的工程师团队来破解gcc内部，以便为Google典型的用例场景做好准备，从而对gcc进行整个程序优化。

类似地，分析应用程序不再仅仅意味着分析程序代码，还包括它周围的所有系统和基础设施(想想网络、交换机、服务器、RAID阵列)，以便从系统的角度识别冗余和优化潜力。
