We’ve previously announced keynotes by Herb Sutter on what lies ahead for C++ and by Khalil Estell on Exceptions in Firmware.

We’re now pleased to announce the third of our five conference keynotes: David Gross will be talking about a topic that C++ excels at, speed. The ability to unlock the highest levels of performance from the underlying hardware is a topic every C++ practitioner discusses at some point in their career. This talk will be sure to incite discussion throughout the conference.

From David’s talk description:

When Nanoseconds Matter: Ultrafast Trading Systems in C++

In this talk, I will share industry insights on creating a low-latency trading system from the ground up. In the low-latency trading game, there is no silver bullet, but there is a lot of knowledge I can share after working in the industry for over a decade:

• • Optimizing Order Books for Speed: A deep dive into the mechanics of order books and techniques for enhancing their performance.
  • C++ Low-Latency Patterns: Explore common “tricks” and patterns in C++ that are widely adopted in the industry to achieve low latency.
  • Building a Scalable and Robust System: Principles and practices for designing a system that meets low latency requirements and is scalable and robust.
