Friday - Oct 23 8:45 AM CDT - SALON A
Today, we all benefit from the sophistication of modern compilers and hardware, but that extra complexity can also make it difficult to reason about performance.
In this talk, we'll examine some surprising performance cases and learn how to
use profiling and benchmarking tools to better understand our modern execution environments.
