C++ High Performance: Master the art of optimizing the functioning of your C++ code 2nd Edition
A comprehensive guide to help aspiring and professional C++ developers elevate the performance of their apps by allowing them to run faster and consume fewer resourcesKey FeaturesUpdated to C++20 with completely revised code and more content on error handling benchmarking memory allocators and concurrent programmingExplore the latest C++20 features including concepts ranges and coroutinesUtilize C++ constructs and techniques to carry out effective data structure optimization and memory managementBook DescriptionC++ High Performance Second Edition guides you through optimizing the performance of your C++ apps. This allows them to run faster and consume fewer resources on the device they're running on without compromising the readability of your codebase. The book begins by introducing the C++ language and some of its modern concepts in brief. Once you are familiar with the fundamentals you will be ready to measure identify and eradicate bottlenecks in your C++ codebase. By following this process you will gradually improve your style of writing code. The book then explores data structure optimization memory management and how it can be used efficiently concerning CPU caches. After laying the foundation the book trains you to leverage algorithms ranges and containers from the standard library to achieve faster execution write readable code and use customized iterators. It provides hands-on examples of C++ metaprogramming coroutines reflection to reduce boilerplate code proxy objects to perform optimizations under the hood concurrent programming and lock-free data structures. The book concludes with an overview of parallel algorithms. By the end of this book you will have the ability to use every tool as needed to boost the efficiency of your C++ projects.What you will learnWrite specialized data structures for performance-critical codeUse modern metaprogramming techniques to reduce runtime calculationsAchieve efficient memory management using custom memory allocatorsReduce boilerplate code using reflection techniquesReap the benefits of lock-free concurrent programmingGain insights into subtle optimizations used by standard library algorithmsCompose algorithms using ranges libraryDevelop the ability to apply metaprogramming aspects such as constexpr constraints and conceptsImplement lazy generators and asynchronous tasks using C++20 coroutinesWho this book is forIf you're a C++ developer looking to improve the efficiency of your code or just keen to upgrade your skills to the next level this book is for you.Table of ContentsA Brief Introduction to C++Essential C++ TechniquesAnalyzing and Measuring PerformanceData StructuresAlgorithmsUsing Ranges and ViewsMemory ManagementCompile-Time ProgrammingEssential UtilitiesProxy Objects and Lazy EvaluationConcurrencyCoroutines and Lazy GeneratorsAsynchronous Programming with CoroutinesParallel STL Algorithms
Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading: Predictive models to extract signals from market and alternative data for systematic trading strategies with Python 2nd Edition
Leverage machine learning to design and back-test automated trading strategies for real-world markets using pandas TA-Lib scikit-learn LightGBM SpaCy Gensim TensorFlow 2 Zipline backtrader Alphalens and pyfolio. Key Features Design train and evaluate machine learning algorithms that underpin automated trading strategies Create a research and strategy development process to apply predictive modeling to trading decisions Leverage NLP and deep learning to extract tradeable signals from market and alternative data Book Description The explosive growth of digital data has boosted the demand for expertise in trading strategies that use machine learning (ML). This revised and expanded second edition enables you to build and evaluate sophisticated supervised unsupervised and reinforcement learning models. This book introduces end-to-end machine learning for the trading workflow from the idea and feature engineering to model optimization strategy design and backtesting. It illustrates this by using examples ranging from linear models and tree-based ensembles to deep-learning techniques from cutting edge research. This edition shows how to work with market fundamental and alternative data such as tick data minute and daily bars SEC filings earnings call transcripts financial news or satellite images to generate tradeable signals. It illustrates how to engineer financial features or alpha factors that enable an ML model to predict returns from price data for US and international stocks and ETFs. It also shows how to assess the signal content of new features using Alphalens and SHAP values and includes a new appendix with over one hundred alpha factor examples. By the end you will be proficient in translating ML model predictions into a trading strategy that operates at daily or intraday horizons and in evaluating its performance.
