C++ Design Patterns for Low-latency Applications Including High-frequency Trading
https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.04259
If there's one field that works hard on understanding computer performance concerns but also has insane opsec to keep a near iron clad grip on the things they learn, it's high frequency trading. I'm not competent to understand how you can make more money if you're faster, but some people are apparently doing it. Here's at least a paper to get some insights into what they're doing. Some interesting insights in there too.
