It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance.

At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading. This talk originated from my updates to [Systems Performance 2nd Edition], and this was the first time I've given this talk in person! Or even on a plane.

SSRS 2008 brought that component into the reporting service module. Disk latency for ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB are very important. Caches of report results are stored in the ReportServerTempDB database and I/O performance can become an issue here. Reporting Services Infrastructure. General Tuning. Conclusion.

Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user.
