Reflecting on three amazing days ⁦@cpponsea⁩ 2025. Grateful to have been part of it. Impatient to play around with all I have learned.

@thecppzoo @IMCTrading @ciura_victor @Microsoft Finished #cpponsea on a high note with Dave Rowland .@drowaudio dev .@TracktionSW, sharing lessons learned from optimising a high performance library, discussing how memory usage can be optimised when evaluating a dag that contains hundreds or even thousands of nodes.

@thecppzoo @IMCTrading @ciura_victor @Microsoft Followed by a detailed presentation by Kevin Carpenter on building and operating REST APIs with json and cpp-httplib in the payments space, processing millions or credit card transactions.

@thecppzoo @IMCTrading Then we went on to bust C++ myths (part 2) with .@ciura_victor of .@microsoft. Great talk that I look forward to watching again once the videos becomes available. A lot to digest after nearly 4 days at #cpponsea!

@thecppzoo After lunch a sponsored talk by Ben Catterall of .@IMCTrading on simulating a low latency exchange! Insights on various latencies that need simulating when assessing a trading strategy. #cpp #hft #trading

Next was a thought provoking talk by Eduardo Madrid .@thecppzoo on HPC and delta-coding compression. It highlighted some imported techniques and ideas that are in general underutilised, unless you work in the world of High Frequency Trading. #informationtheory #cpp #entropy
