Herb Sutter is a prominent C++ expert. He is also an author of several books on C++ and was a columnist for Dr. Dobb's Journal.
Education and career[edit]
Sutter was born and raised in Oakville, Ontario, and studied computer science at Canada's University of Waterloo.[1][third-party source needed]
From 1995 to 2001 he was chief technology officer at PeerDirect where he designed the PeerDirect database replication engine.[1][third-party source needed]
He joined Microsoft in 2002[citation needed] as a platform evangelist for Visual C++ .NET,[citation needed] rising to lead software architect for C++/CLI.[2][3] In recent years Sutter was lead designer for C++/CX and C++ AMP.[3]
Sutter currently serves as the chair of the ISO C++ standards committee,[2] a position he has held for over a decade.[3]
The Free Lunch Is Over[edit]
"The Free Lunch Is Over" was an article written by Herb Sutter and published in 2005.[4] It claimed that microprocessor serial-processing speed was reaching a physical limit leading to two main consequences:
- processor manufacturers would focus on products that better support multithreading (such as multi-core processors), and
- software developers would be forced to develop massively multithreaded programs as a way to better use such processors.
The article is seen as highly influential in subsequent system design.[5][6][2]
