C++ Lecture at TU Munich, Germany 2024

Earlier this November, think-cell returned to TU Munich to deliver a specialized C++ lecture for computer science students and researchers, further strengthening our long-standing partnership with the university. Over the years, we’ve engaged with TUM through events like the IKOM career fair, our EAT++ lectures, and Summer Parties.

Jonathan Müller, a Software Engineer at think-cell, presented A Deep Dive into Dispatching Techniques, diving into the core of efficient code execution. This talk investigated various dispatching techniques, from simple switch statements to jump tables. Together with the students Jonathan explored performance analysis tools, benchmarks, and lots and lots of assembly code, in order to learn ways to trick the compiler into generating the assembly code that we actually want.

The session  was attended by 50 students and researchers, not only providing them with practical knowledge about efficient dispatching and performance analysis but also introducing them to think-cell software development culture.

We were happy to be invited to share our expertise and look forward to continuing our collaboration with one of the world’s leading institutions for computer science education.
