Notes

• Everything is a data problem.
• Hardware is the platform.
• Coders job is the transform data not to write code.
• Good to think about the transforms you are applying when you write code.
• Keep data that is use with each other close together.
• Bools in structs provide low information density
• can push data out of cache lines

00:28:00 Interesting Example about cache reads, and compiler optimization space.

00:41:50 Bools in structs

01:02:00 Last minute decision making is not a good idea

From the QA at the end he mentions that Link Time Optimization and Profile Guided optimization are too slow to use in code.
