Execution Speed

Improve execution speed of generated code

The code generator increases the execution speed of the generated code where possible by replacing global variables with local variables, removing data copies, using the memset and memcpy functions, and reducing the amount of memory for storing data. You can increase the execution speed of the generated code by implementing compiler and processor specific optimizations, specifying buffer reuse, and removing code you might not need.

Optimizations that Improve Execution Efficiency

Optimize Generated Code Using Minimum and Maximum Values
To optimize the generated code for your model, you can choose an option to use input range information, also known as design minimum and maximum, that you specify on signals and parameters.
Optimize Global Variable Usage
Choose a global variable reference optimization to satisfy your memory usage and execution speed requirements.
Improve Execution Efficiency by Reordering Block Operations in the Generated Code
The code generator can change the block execution order to improve execution efficiency.
Optimize Generated Code by Combining Multiple for Constructs
The code generator uses data dependency analysis to combine for constructs to reduce static code size and runtime branching.
Optimize Generated Code for Complex Signals
The code generator performs various optimizations on the structures that represent signals in the generated code.
Configure Loop Unrolling Threshold
Starting at a default value of 5, the code generator begins to use a for loop instead of separate statements to assign values to the elements of a signal or parameter array.
Simplify Multiply Operations in Array Indexing
The code generator reduces the number of times a multiply operation executes in an array index by replacing the multiply operation with a temporary variable.
Optimize Generated Code Using memset Function
The memset function clears internal storage, regardless of type, to the integer bit pattern 0 (that is, all bits are off).
Use memcpy Function to Optimize Generated Code for Vector Assignments
The code generator optimizes the generated code for vector assignments by replacing for loops with memcpy function calls.
Use Conditional Input Branch Execution
For Switch and Multiport Switch blocks, Simulink executes only blocks that compute the control input and the data input that the control input selects.
