http://yowaustralia.com.au/general/details.html?speakerId=2962" target="_blank Martin Thompson is a high-performance and low-latency computing specialist, with experience gained over two decades working with large scale transactional and big-data domains, including automotive, gaming, financial, mobile, and content management. He believes Mechanical Sympathy - applying an understanding of the hardware to the creation of software - is fundamental to delivering elegant, high-performance, solutions.

Here, Martin explains his perspectives on high performance computing (and coding), when to go native versus managed (Can you really write super fast, highly machine-optimized code in Java and .NET? Martin does...). This is a long conversation and well worth your time if performant execution is important to you - yes, the irony of a long chat about highly performant computing doesnt escape me. <img src=http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/images/emoticons/emotion-1.gif?v=c9 alt=Smiley />

Given that this is a C9 conversation, we take various detours into more topics than the title suggests. Tune in.

Thanks, Martin, for taking the time to ride tandem with the random. <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:e922975a5e7e4ee18561a12d012fbb21
