on Myths and Legends of High Performance Computing  — it’s a somewhat light-hearted look at some of the same issues by the leader of the team that built the Fugaku system I mention below. The emergence of chiplet technology also allows higher performance and integration without having to design every chip from scratch.

I say go ahead and use local state as a performance boost, so long as you’re fine to have that state wiped out at any moment. Systems such as FaRM and KV-Direct focus on improving the performance of PUT/GET operations, but don’t address the authors’ marshalling and overread concerns. Who knew! ;). From RInK to LInK.

This post addresses both questions to illustrate exactly why HammerDB is written in Tcl and why using Python to benchmark a database can result in poor performance and misleading results. As our results show the more threads we add the worse the performance gets due to this GIL synchronization. Surely any language will do? wait: 0.0

It is the premier tool in the toolbox of web performance people. Here’s the real news though: there’s a full-on scalable API now. And if you need even more than that, you can talk to them and they’ll get you sorted—they have scaling-friendly pricing, making it more affordable than other SaaS performance testing tools.

Execution risk is not simply the risk that things don't get done; e.g., that excessive days out of office prevent people from performing tasks by specific dates. Breakaway opportunities tend also to be highly sensitive to non-functional requirements, such as performance, scalability and security.
