This area is less mature than traditional algorithms work. It is the case that cache-friendliness and minimization of data dependency chains is a huge deal for hyper efficient modern algorithms but this hasn't been the case for too long so there is a less rich history of ideas to pull from. This course is also more about solving problems in the first place rather than implementation efficiency.
