Low-Latency Programming Strategies and Techniques
This chapter ventures into the critical domain of low-latency programming in C++, a pivotal component in creating high-performance financial systems. In environments where operational efficiency directly correlates with success, the implementation of strategies to minimize latency is not merely advantageous – it is imperative.
We’ll begin by exploring the interplay between hardware and software. A deep understanding of modern CPU architectures and the intricacies of how C++ code is translated into machine instructions is crucial. This foundation is essential for appreciating the subsequent discussions on optimizing code execution for speed.
Focusing on cache optimization, we will examine the ...
