Loop Unrolling - GeeksforGeeks

Program 2 is more efficient than program 1 because in program 1 there is a need to check the value of i and increment the value of i every time round the loop. So small loops like this or loops where there is fixed number of iterations are involved can be unrolled completely to reduce the loop overhead.

Advantages:

  • Increases program efficiency.
  • Reduces loop overhead.
  • If statements in loop are not dependent on each other, they can be executed in parallel.

Disadvantages:

  • Increased program code size, which can be undesirable.
  • Possible increased usage of register in a single iteration to store temporary variables which may reduce performance.
  • Apart from very small and simple codes, unrolled loops that contain branches are even slower than recursions.
