This week’s meeting: Meeting #2 of C++26 At the previous meeting in June, the committee adopted the first 40 proposed changes for C++26, including many that had been ready for a couple of meetings and were just waiting for the C++26 train to open to be adopted. For those highlights, see the previous trip report. This is that library.

The thrust of the argument is that there’s a chain of inter-linked assumptions / dependencies from the hardware all the way to the programming model, and any time you step outside of the mainstream it’s sufficiently hard to get acceptable performance that researchers are discouraged from doing so. Challenges compiling non-standard kernels.

Andrew Ng , Christopher Ré , and others have pointed out that in the past decade, we’ve made a lot of progress with algorithms and hardware for running AI. Our current set of AI algorithms are good enough, as is our hardware; the hard problems are all about data. But the gain in efficiency would be relatively small.

In the simplest case, you have a growing workload, and you optimize it to run more efficiently so that you don’t need to buy or rent additional hardware, so your carbon footprint stays the same, but the carbon per transaction or operation is going down. I’ve written before about how to tune out retry storms.

One aspect of performance is about how efficiently a transport protocol can use a network’s full (physical) bandwidth (i.e. As such, tuning congestion logic is usually only done by a select few developers, and evolution is slow. Many network interface controllers (NICs) even have built-in hardware-offload features for TCP.

Version7 (Future): Move all compute to the public cloud, carve out more services for impact isolation, dynamic resource pooling to manage pets and cattle efficiently. Once it's resolved our pipeline takes over and the ticket catches the next release train. How are software and hardware upgrades rolled out?
