Modern hardware is remarkably fast, but software often fails to leverage it. Caer Sanders guides his work with mechanical sympathy - software that is sympathetic to its underlying hardware. He distills this practice into everyday principles: predictable memory access, awareness of cache lines, single-writer, and natural batching.
