However, the speed of a computer in FLOPS can vary depending on the number of bits used in the representation of the floating point numbers in the tests. You might have noticed that there is a turning point in 2008 where the increase in performance of the 500 th machine slowed down slightly. The Top500 list (Nov 2018).

Besides organizations wanting to learn how they can replicate the improvement in speed and quality, we keep hearing more questions around how we include security into our processes. As far as I remember, Atlassian’s JIRA had already been used back when I started at Dynatrace in 2008. 1 Let’s track it with JIRA.

Shippers, facing excessive capacity after the financial crisis of 2008, either went out of business, merged, or did deals to fill their ships to capacity. Optimization of the oceangoing containership fleet came at the cost of the efficiency of the rest of the supply chain into which it was integrated.

There is an alternative perspective that is far more optimistic : digital companies drive down costs through hyper-efficiency (speed, automation and machine scale) and price transparency. Ride sharing services have added driver/fleet capacity and accelerated speed-of-access for local transportation service.

I was doing a lot of builds because I was doing build-speed investigations and these crashes were interfering with my ability to do measurements. This bug shows up from Server 2008 R2 (Windows 7) up to the latest stable build of Windows 10 and OS fixes will take a while to propagate so you might as well be careful.

Higher memory speed and bandwidth. AMD's biggest challenge is going to be convincing customers to actually buy AMD-platform servers, since Intel has been so dominant in the server market since the Nehalem architecture era back in 2008. Single-threaded CPU performance is the one relative weak point of the AMD EPYC 7742 processor.

It's fast, but limited in places, and usually only suited as a single-user tool (there are workarounds).
