Such redundant computations have been hidden in the useful instructions of applications and are elusive for traditional compiler-based code optimizations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis discussion examines new work that harnesses these hidden, but significant, optimization opportunities by raising the level of program optimizations from implementations to algorithms, and from instructions to formulas.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio \u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026ndash; Yufei\u0026nbsp;Ding is a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Dept. at North Carolina State University.
