Everything about Software pipelining

Technique in computer programming to optimize loop execution

In computer science, software pipelining is a technique used to optimize loops, in a manner that parallels hardware pipelining. Software pipelining is a type of out-of-order execution, except that the reordering is done by a compiler instead of the processor. Some computer architectures have explicit support for software pipelining, notably Intel's IA-64 architecture. Wikipedia →
