Reads usually have apps waiting on them; writes may not (write-back caching). This is a 64-Gbyte memory system, and 48 Gbytes is in the page cache (the file system cache). Along with the numbers from the problem statement, this gives me a theory: Do the 100-Gbyte files bust the page cache, whereas 40-Gbyte files fit?

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. To this end, we present three simple models that we find useful like Amdahl’s Law, split here into two blog posts. For example, how many buffers must a cache have to record outstanding misses if it receives 2 memory references per cycle at 2.5

My development collogues and I are starting a regular blog series, outlining the vast range of scalability improvements, allowing SQL Server 2016 to run across a wide array of hardware configurations, faster and better than previous releases of SQL Server. The following table is taken from an ASP.NET, session state cache, stress test.

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. Previously, Part 1 of these two blog posts provided our thesis that analytic models can complement measurement and simulations to give quick insight, show what is not possible, provide a double-check, and suggest future directions.

I wrote a blog about it years ago too, however as time has marched on, guidance has changed a bit. Jonathan Kehayias has written an blog post How much memory does my SQL Server actually need , with a formula that helps establish the baseline for the maximum memory value. For many years I've found users making the same mistakes.
