Our hosts, Standard C++ Foundation and WorldQuant, arranged for high-quality facilities for our six-day meeting from Monday through Saturday. This time, the committee adopted the next set of features for C++26. This is that library.

To create a CPU core that can execute a large number of instructions in parallel, it is necessary to improve both the architecturewhich includes the overall CPU design and the instruction set architecture (ISA) designand the microarchitecture, which refers to the hardware design that optimizes instruction execution.

It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. The answer is hardware interrupts. The OS programs a timer chip that then triggers an interrupt that wakes up the CPU and the OS can then schedule your thread. Timer interrupts and their raison d’être. Decades of madness.

These techniques work well for scientific programs that are dominated by arrays. However, they are ineffective on object-based programs because objects do not fall neatly into fixed-size blocks and have a more irregular layout. If we compress objects instead of cache lines though, we can get to a 56% compression ratio (c).
