Multi-core CPUs have become the norm. Most system languages predate this
hardware evolution and provide poor solutions to problems that
developers encounter using multi-core CPUs.
The first part of this talk will introduce how multi-core CPUs work,
what they are good at, and the conditions that may affect their
performance negatively.
The second part will look at how one system programming language takes
advantage of multi-core CPUs. The D programming language learns from the
mistakes of its predecessors and provides a much safer and comfortable
environment to exploit multi-core machines by its default thread-local
storage; immutable and shared data attributes; and parallelism,
concurrency and fiber modules.
Amaury Séchet is the main developer of SDC, a project aiming at
providing a D compiler as a library. He currently works at Facebook as a
software engineer.
