2.11 General Optimization Tips

• Use the /verbose qualifier with the kfort command line to view the qualifiers the KAP preprocessor passes to the compiler and the linker.

• Use the /ipa qualifier to cause KAP to give information in the annotated listing about appropriate settings for the /ipall qualifier on a loop-by-loop basis.

• Avoid writing code that accesses an array outside of the array bounds, since this necessitates that you use the /assume=b qualifier. Setting /assume=b prevents KAP from performing many of its optimizations.
