Imagine this: You have just deployed a brilliantly structured, logically flawless C++ algorithm. The unit tests are green. The architecture is clean. But in production, a random 10-millisecond latency spike costs your high-frequency trading firm a million dollars. Or worse, it causes the sensor fusion node in an autonomous vehicle to miss a critical braking deadline.
I have been there. You stare at the profiler, wondering why a system that is fast 99% of the time suddenly choked. The terrifying truth? The operating system lied to you. The compiler quietly deleted your code. The CPU's branch predictor guessed wrong, flushing its entire pipeline. In this book, I will take you into the microscopic, atomic reality of the machine. I will show you exactly where those missing nanoseconds went, and more importantly, how to take them back.
What's inside- Defeating the Compiler: Learn how to write rigorous microbenchmarks using Google Benchmark that prevent the LLVM optimizer from faking your execution times.
- Hardware Interrogation: Use Linux perf and Intel VTune to read raw CPU performance counters, tracking cache misses and instruction stalls directly from the silicon.
- Kernel Bypass & Networking: Discover how High-Frequency Trading (HFT) engines bypass the OS entirely to read network packets straight off the fiber optic NIC.
- Data-Oriented Design: Master memory layouts (Structure of Arrays) to perfectly pack the CPU's L1 cache and unleash SIMD vectorization.
- Taming the Tail: Measure and flatten 99.99th percentile latency spikes using HDR Histograms and strict OS isolation.
This book is crafted for mid-level to senior C++ developers, systems architects, quantitative developers, and robotics engineers who can no longer afford to guess about performance. If your software operates in environments where missing a deadline means financial ruin or physical danger—whether in HFT, self-driving cars, game engine development, or telecom—this book is your blueprint.
Stop guessing how the machine works and start commanding it. The difference between standard software and world-class engineering is measured in nanoseconds. Grab your copy today, look under the hood of your hardware, and write C++ that absolutely dominates the silicon!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
