Proficient Parallel Programming - King Butcher - Software You Can Love VC 2023

Abstract:
When you hear that a project becomes parallel, you usually expect to see a speed boost. This isn't always true though. For those unaware, slapping on threads without much thought can easily make code slower. There's some important aspects about parallel programming that are rarely discussed but makes the world of difference. This talk won't promote "fearless concurrency", but it may help point out common pitfalls to better debug and utilize those chunks of "thinking sand" we call CPUs.

P erfect talk + Structured + Examples + No Bullshit

Another classic The observation of threads being like distributed computing (and therefore able to make use of strategies like backoff) is solid

Ultra Programming, better than Ultra sex

We could make a whole new department just from this. There are different architectures that implement stuff differently if we want to reduce the gap even further. The strategy is the same but for different architecture. It ain't too shabby if there is, eh?
