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).

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. They will also have up to 256MB of L3 cache per processor.

During the 90s, we saw two content management systems for static sites — Microsoft FrontPage in 1996 and Macromedia Dreamweaver in 1997. These desktop applications incremented the tooling an inch closer to the modern Jamstack content management systems of today. Maintaining layouts became a particular pain point for static sites.
