Summary
In this chapter, we embarked on the critical exploration of low-latency programming in C++, focusing on its essential role in developing high-performance and low-latency systems. We covered the optimization of code execution for speed, highlighting cache optimization, system warmup strategies, minimizing kernel interaction, and advanced C++ techniques. The discussion extended to the impact of branch prediction on performance and the use of performance analysis tools.
By applying these strategies, developers can significantly improve the performance of financial systems, positioning them for the evolving challenges and trends in the sector.
In the next chapter, we will learn about more advanced topics, as software development keeps pushing the boundaries of speed and performance.
