What is The Art of Writing Efficient Programs about?

Get to grips with various performance improvement techniques such as concurrency, lock-free programming, atomic operations, parallelism, and memory managementKey FeaturesUnderstand the limitations of modern CPUs and their performance impactFind out how you can avoid writing inefficient code and get the best optimizations from the compilerLearn the tradeoffs and costs of writing high-performance programsBook DescriptionThe great free lunch of "performance taking care of itself" is over. Until recently, programs got faster by themselves as CPUs were upgraded, but that doesn't happen anymore. The clock frequency of new processors has almost peaked. New architectures provide small improvements to existing programs, but this only helps slightly. Processors do get larger and more powerful, but most of this new power is consumed by the increased number of processing cores and other "extra" computing units. To write efficient software, you now have to know how to program by making good use of the available computing resources, and this book will teach you how to do that.The book covers all the major aspects of writing efficient programs, such as using CPU resources and memory efficiently,
