Overview of this book

C++ High Performance, Second Edition guides you through optimizing the performance of your C++ apps. This allows them to run faster and consume fewer resources on the device they're running on without compromising the readability of your codebase. The book begins by introducing the C++ language and some of its modern concepts in brief. Once you are familiar with the fundamentals, you will be ready to measure, identify, and eradicate bottlenecks in your C++ codebase. By following this process, you will gradually improve your style of writing code. The book then explores data structure optimization, memory management, and how it can be used efficiently concerning CPU caches. After laying the foundation, the book trains you to leverage algorithms, ranges, and containers from the standard library to achieve faster execution, write readable code, and use customized iterators. It provides hands-on examples of C++ metaprogramming, coroutines, reflection to reduce boilerplate code, proxy objects to perform optimizations under the hood, concurrent programming, and lock-free data structures. The book concludes with an overview of parallel algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have the ability to use every tool as needed to boost the efficiency of your C++ projects.

Data Structures

In the last chapter, we discussed how to analyze time and memory complexity and how to measure performance. In this chapter, we are going to talk about how to choose and use data structures from the standard library. To understand why certain data structures work very well on the computers of today, we first need to cover some basics about computer memory. In this chapter, you will learn about:

  • The properties of computer memory
  • The standard library containers: sequence containers and associative containers
  • The standard library container adaptors
  • Parallel arrays

Before we start walking through the containers offered by the standard library and some other useful data structures, we will briefly discuss some properties of computer memory.
