The publication recommends Chapter 9 of Agner Fog’s *Optimizing Software in C++*, focused on optimizing memory access. Here is a practical way to study the topic.
Chapter 9, “Optimizing Memory Access,” of Agner Fog’s *Optimizing Software in C++* is recommended for engineers interested in optimizing memory access in C++.
As you study the chapter, start by identifying a piece of code and the behavior you want to improve. Record a baseline performance measurement so you can compare results.
Examine the code’s memory access patterns and test one change at a time. Compare each result with the baseline and keep a record of changes and test conditions.
