Philip Winder in the "Proceedings of the 8th occam User Group Technical Meeting" ISBN 90 5199 002 4 has a small section about increasing Transputer efficiency. In particular he mentions as follows: "The compiler produces code to check array bounds. This is necessary to conform to the formal model and can be useful in finding bugs. However, if the checks are suppressed, instruction throughput can increase by up to 40 per cent." My question is how do you do this? ( For information the software is written using Inmos' TDS system ).
