The Surprising Effectiveness of Non-Overlapping, Sensitivity-Based Performance Models

John McCalpin

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

Is Intel Doomed in the Server CPU Space?

SQL Performance

Intel officially moved on to what they call " Process- Architecture-Optimization (PAO) " in early 2016. Intel server processors have historically delivered significantly better single-threaded CPU performance and lower power consumption than competing AMD processors since the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture in 2008.
