optimization level
[/ˌɒptɪmaɪˈzeɪʃən ˈlevəl/]
nounpl: optimization levels
nível de otimização
1. A setting or parameter that controls the degree to which a compiler, program, or system optimizes code or processes for performance, speed, or resource efficiency
The compiler offers five optimization levels, ranging from O0 (no optimization) to O3 (aggressive optimization).
O compilador oferece cinco níveis de otimização, variando de O0 (sem otimização) a O3 (otimização agressiva).
2. In software development, a configuration that determines how aggressively a compiler will optimize machine code for execution speed or smaller file size
Setting the optimization level to -O2 provides a good balance between compilation time and runtime performance.
Definir o nível de otimização para -O2 fornece um bom equilíbrio entre tempo de compilação e desempenho em tempo de execução.
This is primarily technical jargon used in software development and computer science communities in both Brazil and the USA. It's especially prevalent in discussions about C, C++, and other compiled languages. In Brazilian tech companies and universities, the English term is often used alongside the Portuguese translation interchangeably in technical settings.
