He joined Microsoft in 2002[2] as a platform evangelist for Visual C++ .NET,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". rising to lead software architect for C++/CLI.[3][4] In recent years Sutter was lead designer for C++/CX and C++ AMP.[4] In November 2024, after 22 years at Microsoft, Sutter left to join Citadel Securities.[5]
Sutter has served as the chair of the ISO C++ standards committee since 2002.[6][3][4]
In 2005, Sutter published an article titled "The Free Lunch Is Over"[7] that claimed that microprocessor serial-processing speed was reaching a physical limit leading to two main consequences:
- Processor manufacturers would focus on products that better support multithreading (such as multi-core processors), and
- Software developers would be forced to develop massively multithreaded programs as a way to better use such processors.
The article is seen as highly influential in subsequent system design.[8][9][3]
