If you want an alternative task manager - get TaskSlinger.
- VERY FAST (100ms startup time)
- Author cares a lot
- No telemetry, analytics and anything like that
- Fully native, no React crap
- exe is 2 megabytes
No reason to use slop when high quality software exists
I’ll be giving a keynote at CppCon 2026 this September, and releasing an open-source intelligent memory tiering library to go with it!
Alternative tiers of memory with vastly different latency characteristics are important considerations with current demand pressures (CXL, far memory, HBF).
The future of high-performance development hints at general purpose object residency to tier-aware allocators.
I’ll demonstrate how to create durable abstractions for object residency; with the flexibility to accommodate not just current hardware, but even memory tiers that have not been invented yet!
