Book Description
C++ High Performance, Second Edition intends to guide you through optimizing the performance of your C++ apps by allowing 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 C++ language and some of its modern concepts to you in brief. Once you are familiar with the fundamentals, it enables you to measure and identify bottlenecks in a C++ codebase and how to eradicate them using modern C++ constructs and techniques. In this process, you will gradually improve your style of writing code. You will further dive deep to explore 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 experience 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 developed the ability to use every tool as per its need to boost the efficiency of your C++ project.
