Base64 2009 v2.zip

[Mike_Le]

Ivan Gagne's base-64 encoding project, from the 9/17/2014 San Diego LabVIEW UGM.

Demonstrates optimization of base-64 encoding of a large dataset. An example application would be transmitting binary data over a string-based protocol.

Techniques:

Low lying fruit:

• Experiment with the execution options. Disabling debug always helps but experiment with the other two.

• Remove binary array manipulation. Move bits left and right using the shift operator.
• Remove inner for loop, use U8 arrays instead of strings, and eliminate dynamic memory allocation
• Calculate  a lookup table (code inside zip file) ahead of time to eliminate search time
