High Performance Design event - Presented by Nick Zeeb

When economic news comes out, trading volumes spike and the LMAX Exchange needs to push out the latest prices to all of our clients as fast as possible.

This presentation is about how we solved this problem by using Test Driven Design. It will show, step by step, how we created a lock-free, high performance data structure by using knowledge of how modern processors are designed.

Who Should Attend:

Anyone interested in writing high performance code. This talk covers the entire design story starting from how we approached the problem, all the way down to the low-level code tweaks to squeeze out the last drop of performance.
