Daniel Lemire demonstrates custom-optimized techniques for signed 32-bit integer division that outperform what mainstream compilers generate. The post explores hand-tuned assembly and algorithmic tricks to achieve faster division by bypassing compiler-optimized library routines.
Background
Compiler-generated division instructions can be slower than hand-optimized alternatives, especially for signed 32-bit division which requires additional boundary case handling.
