 Herb Sutter, Microsoft: Herb Sutter is a leading authority on software development in general and C++ and .NET in particular, and the creator of dozens of innovations in the fields of distributed database systems architecture, distributed network adaptive self-organization, and cryptographic security for databases. He is currently a software architect at Microsoft, chair of the ISO C++ Standards Committee, and the author of four acclaimed books and hundreds of papers and articles on software development topics.
From the JVM to .NET, virtual machine runtime environments with
garbage collection are now the mainstream of computing rather
than the exception, and they are here to stay. Microsoft has bet
its medium-term future on it: The successor to Win32 as the API
for Windows Longhorn is WinFX, which is based on today's .NET
Frameworks and puts the garbage-collected VM squarely at the
heart of a major operating system.
In this talk, the lead architect of C++/CLI talks about the
importance and viability of environments based on virtual machines
and garbage collection, even for performance-driven applications,
and demonstrates the challenges and rewards of evolving existing
performance- and hardware-oriented languages to operate seamlessly
and with first-class status in modern virtual environments.
