Corobatch - Batch operations, simply, with coroutines

live.cpplondon.org

We're once again going to be live streaming the meet-up, and running parallel video chat rooms. This month we welcome Francesco Zoffoli to talk about using coroutines for batch operations (the talk he was originally going to give in March).

We'd also like to run some lightning talks - so if you have any ideas for one - from 5-10 minutes - please let me know on cpplondon.org/speak. If you want to hash out an idea you're not sure about, or want help, advice, or some practice doing a remote presentation let me know, too.

19:00 Phil Nash - "Intro and news"

19:10 Lightning talks

• Kevlin Henney - "λιστ"
• Kilian Henneberger - "Polymorphism Decision Table"
• Arthur O'Dwyer - "A C++20 Magic Trick"

20:00 Francesco Zoffoli - "corobatch: how coroutines can transform your code to do batch operations"

Batch operations tend to be more efficient than multiple single operations (network calls, IPC, memory allocation, I/O in general), but they can make the code harder to read.
corobatch uses coroutines to allow you to write code as if you were processing one element at a time, and perform batch operations underneath, to get the best of both worlds.
