Previous Reading Project Optimize Plan The Second Algorithm Improvement In general, multiply or divide by an integer can get the result by shifting it. The multiply and divide method - generate left-shifted code if multiply by 2n, and multiply by any other integer or divide by any number. The shift method is more efficient than the multiplication and division method. binarize.c unsigned int averageNeighborBlackPoint = ... / 4   >>2

Previous Reading Project Optimize Plan The First Algorithm Improvement Bit operation only needs an instruction cycle to complete, and most of the C compiler "%" operation is to call subroutines to complete, the code is long, slow execution speed. In general, as long as the remainder of 2n square is sought, the method of bit operation can be used instead. codewordmask.c size % 4 size & 3

Previous Reading  Background Learning Project Performance Test Server used in this test is Aarch64 $ ssh siwen@aarchie.cdot.systems Fork and Clone from Github $ git clone https://github.com/SiwenFeng/qrcode.git $ cd qrcode Makefile $ make Benchmarking tool I am going to use is time. This project is about decoding, the faster the project can read a given QR code, the better the performance is. Because it is a local testing, the network speed has been ignored. $ time ./qrcode -v images/QR_damaged.png > output.html  Project Code Reading The original vision code is good enough to me. It contains almost every aspect I have learned about QR code. The decoding process include some repeat calculate. I guess change the way of calculation may influence the performance. Project Optimize Strategy The strategy I will use in Stage 2 to attempt to optimize is Algorithm improvements.
