Abstract:
This talk describes how low latency systems can be developed in C++, demonstrating common coding techniques used to reduce code execution times. While automated trading is used as the motivation for this talk, the topics discussed are equally valid to other domains such as game development and soft real-time processing.

About the speaker:
Carl's interest is in low latency/high frequency proprietary trading systems, which has seen him work in Australia, The UK and The Netherlands. In terms of coding and engineering, he considers himself brutally pragmatic. Carl is also an active member of the SG14 study group, making sure that requirements from the automated trading industry are represented as C++ evolves. He has a Ph.D. and a M.Sc. from the University of Canterbury, graduating in 2006. Carl likes to drink Belgium beer and ski, sometimes concurrently.
