Optimization Tools

This section documents the optimization-related command-line tools under tools/optimization/.

The current front ends cover two focused parts of lib/Optimization/:

• lotus-opt-ipo drives the passes in lib/Optimization/IPO/ via tools/optimization/lotus-opt-ipo.cpp

• lotus-opt-prefetch drives the software prefetching implementation in lib/Optimization/Prefetch/ via tools/optimization/lotus-opt-prefetch.cpp

Other optimization libraries, such as Scalar/, Pipeline/, and PartialEvaluation/, exist in the source tree but are not documented here as standalone tools because this directory does not currently expose separate front-end binaries for them.

Location: tools/optimization/ Additional frontends: tools/optimization/lotus-opt-purity.cpp and the currently disabled tools/optimization/lotus-opt-lif.cpp

• Inter-Procedural Optimizations
• Prefetch Optimization Tool
