Any detailed documentation on optimizations performed by the ICC?

Hi,

I am very interested in using the ICC long-term for low latency programming. Because of this I would like to try and get some documentation on the sort of optimizations the ICC does and doesn't do. Does this sort of documentation exist/are Intel able to provide something?

EDIT I would want to learn which micro optimizations are completely pointless, how the ICC implements various parts of the C++ language, optimizations performed, how the memory layout is organized etc. It would save many hours observing outputted assembler!

Thanks

I'm not sure that documents with all these technical details exist. Try to do programming ( as much as possible ) and take a look at: Online ( v13.x ): software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/doclib/stdxe/2013/composerxe/compiler/cpp-mac/index.htm Online ( v12.x ): software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/composerxe/en-us/2011Update/cpp/win/index.htm Online: Intel Articles related to Intel C++ compiler or if you have already Intel C++ compiler than run: icc.exe -help
