7 Things I Learned About Steam In 2024 - Really, what is my job? I am not a clairvoyant who can predicts what Steam will do or have some special intuition that gives you wishlists. All I do is I go to the hundreds of devs who are willing to share their data with me (like you) and I ask them “did this work?” or “What happened here?”. Or I compile all the publicly available data filtered for what I am looking to test. So what did I learn about Steam this year?

Static search trees: 40x faster than binary search - In this post, we will implement a static search tree (S+ tree) for high-throughput searching of sorted data, as introduced on Algorithmica. We’ll mostly take the code presented there as a starting point, and optimize it to its limits. For a large part, I’m simply taking the ‘future work’ ideas of that post and implementing them. And then there will be a bunch of looking at assembly code to shave off all the instructions we can. Lastly, there will be one big addition to optimize throughput: batching.
