Abstract

The need for latency minimization in many programs for certain computers is quite pronounced, as quantitative results indicate. Optimizing computer instructions includes many things besides merely assigning locations optimally. There are rigorous mathematical methods for formulating the latency problem into a series of integer programming problems, and a mechanical technique has also been developed for iterating on chosen locations in an attempt to improve the choices. The most practical way discovered for minimizing latency, however, has been to let people do the job manually with a semi-systematic procedure and to use computers for the routine phases and for checking the human output.
