Very exciting topics, can't wait digging into the book.
If you like this, you might also enjoy reading about optimisation tips by Mike Acton (data oriented programming,https://dataorientedprogramming.wordpress.com/tag/mike-acton/ https://dataorientedprogramming.wordpress.com/tag/mike-acton... ) and Pierre Terdiman (on collision detection and physics

We wrote some book (and SIGGRAPH courses) a few years ago, Multithreading for Visual Effects (http://www.multithreadingandvfx.org http://www.multithreadingandvfx.org). The audience for this kind of books turned out to be pretty small.
- Narann 5y agoI didn't expect to see Multithreading for Visual Effects here. I did a review[1] of the book, long time ago (in french[2]). I was an interesting book, full of real world use case.

- erwincoumans 5y agoThank you, that is a nice positive and in-depth review. It is good to discuss technical details of 'Algorithms for Modern Hardware' but it also helps to show how real-world projects struggle or succeed in applying various optimizations: Amdahl's law will move you focus from one serial bottleneck to the other (in large programs). Some optimizations are so intrusive that code becomes unmaintainable or undecipherable.
