Advanced numeric operations
In order to take our journey with the numeric operations of the C++ STL a step further, let’s look at the advanced numerical procedures that elevate data handling and make parallelism and concurrency allies in the pursuit of performance.
Remember our discussion about generating sequences and computing summaries? Well, imagine supercharging these operations to process enormous volumes of data efficiently by harnessing the power of multiple processors. This is precisely where advanced numeric operations shine. Parallel algorithms, introduced in C++17, provide the means to achieve this, ensuring our computations are both swift and efficient, even in concurrent environments.
When dealing with vast datasets, sequential processing often doesn’t cut it. Take the example of summing up a large vector of numbers. Doing it in a straight line gets the job done but might not be the quickest. However, the operation can be sped up significantly by splitting...
