Multi-core CPUs have become the norm. Most system languages predate this 
hardware evolution and provide poor solutions to problems that 
developers encounter using multi-core CPUs.

The first part of this talk will introduce how multi-core CPUs work, 
what they are good at, and the conditions that may affect their 
performance negatively.

The second part will look at how one system programming language takes 
advantage of multi-core CPUs. The D programming language learns from the 
mistakes of its predecessors and provides a much safer and comfortable 
environment to exploit multi-core machines by its default thread-local 
storage; immutable and shared data attributes; and parallelism, 
concurrency and fiber modules.

Amaury Séchet is the main developer of SDC, a project aiming at 
providing a D compiler as a library. He currently works at Facebook as a 
software engineer.

Excellent topic!
Unfortunately, I am very far away. :(

Any plans to upload a video? Thanks.

Recording or streaming is always requested but we don't have dedicated 
people or equipment to record the talks. I can't promise yet but I will 
let you know if we have a recording.

I had a lot of question, so I conclude I got people really
interested or really confused.

I'll share the slides when I have some time to take care of it.

Both the speaker and the audience were great. I learned a lot. I hope 
Amaury will publish his slides.

I apologize for not recording the presentation. We will get our 
equipment soon.
