...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.

When you get to the point that you're using efficient algorithms its a question of what you need more speed or memory. Use caching to "pay" in memory for more speed or use calculations to reduce the memory footprint. If possible (and more cost effective) throw hardware at the problem - faster CPU, more memory or HD could solve the problem faster then trying to code it. Use parallelization if possible - run part of the code on multiple threads. Use the right tool for the job. some programing languages create more efficient code, using managed code (i.e. Java/.NET) speed up development but native programing languages creates faster running code. Micro optimize. Only were applicable you can use optimized assembly to speed small pieces of code, using SSE/vector optimizations in the right places can greatly increase performance.

最后几个%是一个非常CPU和应用程序依赖的东西....

缓存架构不同，有些芯片有片上内存 你可以直接映射，ARM的(有时)有一个矢量 单位，SH4是一个有用的矩阵操作码。有GPU吗 也许一个着色器是可行的。TMS320非常 对循环中的分支敏感(因此分离循环和 如果可能的话，将条件移到室外)。

名单在....上但这类事情真的是 最后的手段……

编译x86，并运行Valgrind/Cachegrind对代码 进行适当的性能分析。或者德州仪器的 CCStudio有一个贴心的侧写器。然后你就知道在哪里了 关注……

如果更好的硬件是一个选择，那么一定要去做。否则

Check you are using the best compiler and linker options. If hotspot routine in different library to frequent caller, consider moving or cloning it to the callers module. Eliminates some of the call overhead and may improve cache hits (cf how AIX links strcpy() statically into separately linked shared objects). This could of course decrease cache hits also, which is why one measure. See if there is any possibility of using a specialized version of the hotspot routine. Downside is more than one version to maintain. Look at the assembler. If you think it could be better, consider why the compiler did not figure this out, and how you could help the compiler. Consider: are you really using the best algorithm? Is it the best algorithm for your input size?

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。
