” This contains updated and new material that reflects the latest C++ standards and compilers, with a focus to using modern C++11/14/17 effectively on modern hardware and memory architectures. On April 25-27, I’ll be in Stockholm (Kista) giving a three-day seminar on “High-Performance and Low-Latency C++.”

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

Education, tools, and training all support the premise that supporting more browsers is better ( ceteris paribus ), creating a substantial incentive to grease squeaky wheels. An area where browsers makers disagree fervently, but where Chromium-based browsers have forged ahead (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera, UC, etc.)

Training models and developing complex applications on top of those models is becoming easier. Many of the new open source models are much smaller and not as resource intensive but still deliver good results (especially when trained for a specific application). report that the difficulty of training a model is a problem.

There is no structural separation as there is with a train service. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Nitro is a revolutionary combination of purpose-built hardware and software designed to provide performance and security. So why bother innovating?

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. On the Internet, however, we typically have a long series of connected pipes , some of which can be wider than others (leading to so-called bottlenecks at the narrowest links).
