Everything about Loop unswitching
Compiler optimization for conditionals in loops
Loop unswitching is a compiler optimization. It moves a conditional statement inside a loop outside by duplicating the loop's body and placing a version of it inside each of the if and else clauses of the conditional. This enhances loop's parallelization. As modern processors can efficiently handle vectors, this optimization increases program speed. Wikipedia →
