<p>"Herb Sutter is a leading authority on software development. He is the best selling author of several books including Exceptional C++ and C++ Coding Standards, as well as hundreds of technical papers and articles [and] has served for a decade as chair of the ISO C++ standards committee. - http://herbsutter.com/about"</p>

|

<p>High-level languages insulate the programmer from the machine. That's a
|
||||
wonderful thing -- except when it obscures the answers to the fundamental
|
||||
questions of "What does the program do?" and "How much does it cost?"</p>
|
||||
<p>The C++ and C# programmer is less insulated than most, and still we find
|
||||
that programmers are consistently surprised at what simple code actually
|
||||
does and how expensive it can be -- not because of any complexity of a
|
||||
language, but because of being unaware of the complexity of the machine on
|
||||
which the program actually runs.</p>
|
||||
<p>This talk examines the "real meanings" and "true costs" of the code we
|
||||
write and run especially on commodity and server systems, by delving into
|
||||
the performance effects of bandwidth vs. latency limitations, the
|
||||
ever-deepening memory hierarchy, the changing costs arising from the
|
||||
hardware concurrency explosion, memory model effects all the way from the
|
||||
compiler to the CPU to the chipset to the cache, and more -- and what you
|
||||
can do about them.</p>
