Faster remainders when the divisor is a constant: beating compilers and libdivide

Daniel Lemire

I believe that all optimizing C/C++ compilers know how to pull this trick and it is generally beneficial irrespective of the processor’s architecture. Yet for N large enough footnote , we can approximate 2 N / d by an integer and have the exact computation of the remainder for all possible n within a range. Can we do better?
