1.

What are the principal sources of code optimization?

a)

memory management techniques, keywords, run time environment

b)

network latency reduction

c)

user interface design,

d)

Algorithm optimization, data structure selection, compiler optimizations, code refactoring.

2.

Explain the construction of basic blocks in a program.

a)

Basic blocks are random collections of instructions with multiple entry points.

b)

Basic blocks are segments of code that require multiple exits and entries, constructed by identifying segments of code with control flow changes

c)

Basic blocks consist of loops and branches that alter control flow.

d)

Basic blocks are linear sequences of instructions with a single entry and exit point, constructed by identifying segments of code without control flow changes.

3.

How is a flow graph used in code optimization?

a)

A flow graph helps in debugging by tracing variable values.

b)

A flow graph is utilized for documenting code architecture.

c)

A flow graph is used to analyze control flow for identifying optimizations in code.

d)

A flow graph is used to visualize data structures in code without optimizations in the code

4.

What is the role of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) in optimizing basic blocks?

a)

The DAG reduces basic blocks by removing all data dependencies entirely.

b)

The DAG optimizes basic blocks by representing dependencies and enabling efficient scheduling and parallel execution.

c)

The DAG enhances basic blocks by merging them into a single linear sequence, thius avpiding parallel execution.

d)

The DAG simplifies basic blocks by eliminating all control flow structures to optimize the code

5.

How does next-use information aid in code generation?

a)

Next-use information aids in optimizing resource allocation and improving code efficiency.

b)

Next-use information decreases code readability rthus improving code efficiency.

c)

Next-use information complicates the code generation process to unable resource management

d)

Next-use information is irrelevant to resource management.

6.

What are address and register descriptors in code generation?

a)

Address descriptors refer to memory locations, and register descriptors refer to CPU registers used in code generation.

b)

Address descriptors indicate data types, while register descriptors manage memory allocation.

c)

Address descriptors represent file paths, and register descriptors handle network connections and control flow

d)

Address descriptors are used for variable names, and register descriptors are for function calls.

7.

What are peephole optimization techniques and their benefits?

a)

Peephole optimization techniques are used to improve memory allocation and storage management in databases.

b)

Peephole optimization techniques increase code size and complexity, resulting in slower execution.

c)

Peephole optimization techniques improve code efficiency by reducing instruction count and execution time, leading to faster program performance.

d)

Peephole optimization techniques focus on enhancing user interface design for better usability.

8.

What is the significance of control flow analysis in compiler optimization?

a)

Control flow analysis helps in identifying unreachable code segments.

b)

Control flow analysis aids in optimizing memory usage by analyzing variable lifetimes.

c)

Control flow analysis is primarily focused on improving code readability.

d)

Control flow analysis is used to enhance user experience in applications.

9.

How do loop unrolling techniques contribute to code optimization?

a)

Loop unrolling reduces the overhead of loop control and increases instruction-level parallelism.

b)

Loop unrolling complicates the debugging process and increases instruction-level parallelism.

c)

Loop unrolling is used to enhance the security of the code.

d)

Loop unrolling has no impact on execution speed as it decreases instruction-level parallelism.

10.

What is the purpose of dead code elimination in compilers?

a)

Dead code elimination is used to enhance user interface design.

b)

Dead code elimination focuses on optimizing network requests in applications.

c)

Dead code elimination reduces the size of the code and improves execution efficiency by removing code that is never executed.

d)

Dead code elimination reduces the size of the code and improves code readability by removing unnecessary comments.
