And you thought, you know it all.

I was going through the Blog of Herb Sutter the C++ Organizational committee conveyer and came across this wonderful video of his , for people who don't him, he is one of the authorative C++ guys living today !, in this show he talks about, how little we programmers know about the hardware we are programming for and take things like memory and CPU for granted, the talk will conclude with discussion on need for concurrency and parallelism. highly recommended !!.
