Book Description
C++ is an easy language and can be used to write complex applications and performance-critical code. It has evolved and changed over the last few years. This book will guide you through optimizing the performance of your C++ apps by allowing them to consume fewer resources on the device they're running on.
The book begins with a gentle introduction to help you identify the bottlenecks in C++. We move on to measuring performance and you'll see how this affects the way you write code. Next you'll understand the importance of data structure optimization and how it can be used efficiently. After that, we'll explain which algorithm should be used to achieve faster execution, followed by how to use STL containers.
Moving ahead, you'll find out how to boost your code's performance by executing compiled code. You'll get hands-on making use of multiple cores to enable efficient and faster execution, including GPUs. After that, you'll learn how to improve memory management in C++. We end with some techniques you can use to optimize the performance of your apps.
