Meeting C++ 2023 - the last online conference?

Highlighting the online part of Meeting C++ 2023

Meeting C++ 2023 - the last online conference?

by Jens Weller

From the article:

A few days ago it caught my attention that Meeting C++ 2023 would be the last C++ organisation with an online part of its conference.

This is the case because last year the online part did find its interest in the C++ community. I think it serves the goals of Meeting C++ to continue an online presence for the conference as long as this is feasible...

From the article:

While there is still some changes coming, I wanted to highlight the released schedule of Meeting C++ 2023. The conference it self is less than 2 months away (12th - 14th November).

The program will feature 3 keynotes (1 per day) by Kevlin Henney, Lydia Pintscher and Ivan Čukić...

More than a rehash – Joaquín M. López in Madrid at Using std::cpp

In this talk, Joaquín will invite you to look under boost::unordered_flat_map's hood with him and learn about this container's data structure, its key design elements and how it compares with other top-performance C++ hashmaps both in theory and in practice.

From the talk:

Boost 1.81 (Dec 2022) released boost::unordered_flat_map, a hashmap (unordered associative container in C++ parlance) that relies on open addressing and SIMD techniques to provide extremely high performance. In this talk, Joaquín will invite you to look under boost::unordered_flat_map's hood with him and learn about this container's data structure, its key design elements and how it compares with other top-performance C++ hashmaps both in theory and in practice. The talk finishes with a teaser on concurrent hashmaps arriving as part of your Boost update later this year. Deck and note can be found here

Is boyer_moore_horspool faster then std::string::find?

The last blog post by Julien Jorge made me wonder if the string searchers could be faster here.

Is boyer_moore_horspool faster then std::string::find?

by Jens Weller

From the article:

On Wednesday I've read an interesting blog post by Julien Jorge on Effortful Performance Improvements, where it is shown how to improve an replace function which runs replacements on a string. Its part of a series on performance and improving a code base, you should go read all of them!

When reading the post, and seeing the two implementations, one short and simple and the other longer and more complicated - but faster - I wondered is there a faster way? Julien already has shown that his newer function beats his old function which uses std::string::find in performance. I've veryfied that, and then started to refactor a copy of that slower function with a different approach using the string search algorithm boyer_moore_horspool...

 

Next week: Meeting C++ online job fair

Next week is the first Meeting C++ online job fair in 2023!

Meeting C++ online job fair page

by Jens Weller

From the page:

Join the online C++ job fair on the 14th and 15th March organized by Meeting C++. The job fair will start at 15:00 CET and go until 18:00 on March 14th, on March 15th the event will be in the evening from 20 - 23:00 CET. Companies can choose to be present on both or only one of these events, or to only receive CVs through Meeting C++.

The job fair is an online event where employers and C++ job seekers get to meet each other. Candidates get the chance to get a first feel of a potential employer, and can exchange contacts with those that they'd like to apply to. Employers should book their own table and be present with one or multiple staff.
