This document provides optimization tips for code running on PowerPC processors like those in the Playstation 3. It discusses how to optimize for the PPU hardware threads, cache structure and penalties, virtual function calls, data hazards, and other issues. Specific recommendations include batching data access by type, keeping related data together in memory, avoiding load-hit-store stalls, using restrict pointers, unrolling loops, and using SIMD intrinsics to operate on multiple values simultaneously. Micro-optimizations like these can improve performance by reducing cache misses and stalls.
