Pacific++ 2018: Kirit Sælensminde "Designing APIs for performance"

Website: https://pacificplusplus.com/ Resources: https://github.com/pacificplusplus/conference Twitter: https://twitter.com/pacificplusplus Abstract: Getting good performance out of your APIs isn't only about supporting move semantics properly. Especially for APIs used in inner loops, it's important that the API and the implementation co-operate in order maximise performance. This talk will start with some simple places where a small tweak to an API can potentially double performance, and then show how larger structural changes can speed code by even larger factors. It will also suggest a few places where the standard library can be improved to help.
