There are worlds where performance matters. For example HPC world: faster software means less wait time for the scientists. Embedded world: faster software means we can use cheaper silicon to build our product. Game world: faster software means that our game will run on slower CPUs, thus making our game more interesting to people with […]

Case Study: How we made Canny edge detector algorithm run faster? (part 1)
Canny edge detector algorithm is a famous algorithm in image processing. One of our customers was inquiring about the performance of that algorithm, so our performance engineers took a look. As always when dealing with unfamiliar codebases, we didn’t know what to expect. Some algorithms have a lot of room for performance improvements, others don’t. […]
