alt Hacker NewsSomething to add to this; if you're focussing on these low-level optimizations, make sure the device this code runs on is actually tuned.
A lot of people focus on the code and then assume the device in question is only there to run it. There's so much you can tweak. I don't always measure it, but last time I saw at least a 20% improvement in Network throughput just by tweaking a few things on the machine.
Agreed. For benchmarking I used this <https://github.com/david-alvarez-rosa/CppPlayground/blob/mai...> which relies on GoogleBenchmark and pins producer/consumer threads to dedicated CPU cores
What else could be improved? Would like to learn :)
Maybe using huge pages?
