Challenges in embedded compilation

Theobroma Systems understands the challenges associated with compilers and toolchains for embedded systems and provides solutions to unlock the the hidden potential of the development toolchain.

The hidden potential of the development toolchain

We unlock the peak performance for any processor by customizing compilers, debuggers, profiler and crafting optimizations that:

properly account for target instruction timings and resource dependencies;
optimize memory access patterns for a target system's external bus interface and memory timings;
exploit floating-point and digital signal processing (DSP) instruction set extensions, and/or coprocessors;
use auto-vectorization and support for vector (SIMD) instruction set extensions and coprocessors;
exploit cryptographic coprocessors with performance intrinsics;
interface with performance analysis and instrumentation tools.

By providing a well-tuned toolchain, the performance for compute-bound workloads will improve. This brings competitive advantages to embedded processors and to individual embedded applications by improving industry and application benchmarks. In addition to classical compiler work, high-level performance primitives can be provided to access processor-specific features and coprocessor-functionality.
