An Engineering Approach to Optimizing C++ - Lecture

Explore an engineering approach to optimizing C++ in this conference talk from C++ on Sea 2023. Dive into the practical aspects of optimizing the "Tracktion Engine" codebase, a large real-time audio library powering various audio applications across multiple platforms. Gain valuable insights through real-world examples and learn from both successes and failures in optimization efforts. Discover tools and techniques for measuring and comparing performance across different platforms, and learn how to integrate continuous performance monitoring into CI processes. Examine strategies for identifying optimization opportunities and their relevance to real-world scenarios. Investigate the impact of CPU instructions and memory usage on execution time across various hardware platforms. Uncover useful tricks and lesser-known optimization strategies that challenge conventional wisdom, potentially leading to improved results in C++ optimization efforts.
