Lightning Talk: Dependency Injection for Modern C++ - Tyler Weaver - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
DI is a fancy OO term with an even more complex set of tooling to solve a problem that higher order functions solve in a nicer way. In this talk I'll demonstrate using std::function for dependency injection and talk about how taking functions as a parameter is nicer and more first class in C++ than inheritance or complex mocking libraries.

"Did you know that:
(1) const methods can legally modify members?
(2) A const object cannot be default-initialized? (this makes sense after a minute)
(2)(b) Unless... a default constructor is declared non-inline?
(3) The standard does not properly account for volatile members of const objects?
All this and (probably not much) more, at this lightning talk."

Aliasing in C++ - Risks, Opportunities and Techniques - Roi Barkan - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
The notion of *aliasing* in C++ is one of the trickiest legacy attributes inherited from C. Prevalent when writing object-oriented code, it can cause hard-to-spot functional bugs and far-too-common performance penalties.
In this talk we'll learn where aliasing appears, how impactful it can be, and how we can avoid it when needed. We'll also see when we might harness it to our advantage when appropriate.
We'll see and understand various examples of unexpected behavior and performance, and learn to inspect our code for common aliasing pitfalls.
We'll learn the details of *strict aliasing* rules, and use them to understand how to use get the compiler to understand what we mean. We'll understand how strong-typedefs, value-based design and various potential standards-proposals can be used to make our code more readable and more expressive.

Take Advantage of All the MIPS - SYCL & Cpp - Gordon Brown, Michael Wong, Ronan Keryell, Nevin Liber & Jakub Chlanda - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
Have you ever wanted to take advantage of all the MIPS in your machine with one cppcon.digital-medium.co.uk/tag/programming/">programming language?
Have you ever wanted to support any kind of offload devices in C++, be they FPGA, GPUs, matrix/tensors, or DSPs? Many people have by augmenting a SYCL compiler.
Have you wondered why US National Labs are choosing SYCL as a standard cppcon.digital-medium.co.uk/tag/programming/">programming model for exascale computing? This is because they know maximum performance can be achieved with a combination of host and accelerator devices in any vendor combination, so they choose SYCL.
Khronos SYCL is a framework language built on top of Modern C++. It is backed by an open standard in Khronos and enables ML frameworks and Standard C++ code on top of template libraries with lambda functions that have host and accelerate device code in a single source, but still enable separate compilation of host and device code. The device SYCL compiler may employ kernel fusion for better performance and the host CPU compiler can be any C++ compiler, from clang, GCC, VS C++, or IBM XL compiler. Many people have built SYCL compiler additions to dispatch to any variety of devices very quickly, from students to academia, to industry. There are already a number of backends including CUDA, PTX, OpenMP, AMD, NEC, Huawei, Kokkos, Raja, and TBB in addition to OpenCL.
There are also many interesting use cases with complex modern C++. PyTorch, Blender, ray-tracing, Flashlight ML, Eigen and Tensorflow, Gromacs, and CERN’s ATLAS experiment for high energy physics.
This talk from members of the SYCL and C++ community will talk about highlighted features from the latest SYCL 2020 as related to ISO C++. SYCL can serve even more Extreme Heterogeneity where Data Movement is still King. We also are entering the era of software and hardware Codesign with extreme Heterogeneity and SYCL can be a part of a standard cppcon.digital-medium.co.uk/tag/programming/">programming model for all HPC, Embedded AI/ML, and Automotive
This talk will showcase these features and show how SYCL 2020 has increased expressiveness and simplicity for modern C++ heterogeneous cppcon.digital-medium.co.uk/tag/programming/">programming.
