Tired of C/C++ Performance Roadblocks?
Code runs slower than expected, but profilers only tell half the story?
Unsure if the compiler really optimized your critical loops?
Mystified by the hidden performance costs of C++ abstractions?
Hitting optimization walls and resorting to guesswork?
You're not alone. But there's a better way than blindly trusting

Gain "Compiler X-Ray Vision" with Assembly Insight
Performance Academy teaches you the practical skill of reading compiler-generated assembly to:
- ✅ Diagnose bottlenecks at the instruction level.
- ✅ Verify compiler optimizations (inlining, vectorization, etc.).
- ✅ Understand the true cost of C++ features (virtual calls, templates).
- ✅ Write C/C++ code that guides the compiler towards better performance.
- ✅ Fix stubborn issues that profilers alone can't pinpoint.
This isn't about writing assembly – it's about understanding your code's actual execution to become a significantly better C/C++ developer.
What You'll Master Inside Performance Academy
Module 1: Foundations & Your Performance Toolkit
Mastering Compiler Explorer, GDB Disassembly, essential compiler flags, and CPU basics that impact performance.
Module 2: C Constructs Under the Hood
Seeing how variables, pointers, arrays, structs, and control flow translate – identifying common low-level inefficiencies.
Module 3: Decoding C++ Abstractions
Unmasking the assembly behind classes, virtual functions (v-tables!), templates, lambdas, RAII – understanding their true performance footprint.
Module 4: Compiler Optimization Unveiled
Learning to read optimized assembly, recognizing patterns (strength reduction, inlining), and knowing when the compiler needs help.
Module 5: Assembly-Driven Performance Tactics
Connecting profiler results to specific assembly. Analyzing memory access for cache efficiency. Identifying instruction-level bottlenecks.
Module 6: Practical Case Studies & Advanced Techniques
Real-world examples. Introduction to SIMD concepts and assembly-aware coding patterns.

– Anton, Software Engineer
Last year I was doing a very difficult course on Low Level Programming, and couldn't keep up with the knowledge required to complete all of my labs. Fortunately, Alexander helped me learn everything I need to know about x86 Assembly and optimizing C code, that I passed the course with flying colors! This guy knows what he's doing, would definitely recommend.
- Ivan, Information Security Specialist
Faced with learning Bison and parsing in C from scratch for a project, and 40+ hours of lectures, I turned to Alexander. In a single two-hour session, he brilliantly explained everything I needed to know in a clear, organized way. I grasped the concepts quickly and completely. Alexander has a gift for making complex topics understandable, saving valuable time and peace of mind. I'm incredibly grateful for his help!
- Marat, Computer Science Student
Working with Alexander was a great experience. He was a huge help on several programming projects when I was short on time. He quickly created a plan, got me oriented, answered all my questions in detail, and offered valuable tips. Thanks to him, I was able to complete quality work efficiently under a tight deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What architecture is covered?
We primarily focus on x86-64 (most common on desktops/servers) as the example architecture used by tools like Compiler Explorer. However, the principles of analyzing compiler output are applicable to other architectures like ARM (AArch64) as well.
Is prior assembly knowledge required?
Absolutely not. We start from the perspective of a C/C++ developer and introduce assembly concepts as needed, always relating them back to the source code.
What tools do I need?
You'll need a modern C++ compiler (GCC or Clang recommended), a text editor/IDE, a debugger (like GDB), and internet access for using the amazing Compiler Explorer website. We cover setup where necessary.
How long do I have access to the course?
You get lifetime access to all course materials, including any future updates or additions, for a single one-time payment.
