Scott Meyers Explains CPU Caches and C++ Performance

NOKIA Technology Center Wrocław · Talk · YouTube title: code::dive conference 2014 - Scott Meyers: Cpu Caches and Why You Care

Why it's here

HN points to it as the go-to explanation of why memory layout beats pointer-chasing structures on real hardware.

What it covers

Scott Meyers explains how CPU caches work and why they matter for performance, covering cache levels, access speeds, associativity, and effects in multithreaded code. The focus is C++ and cache-aware, data-oriented programming.
