There was an excellent first benchmarking report of the Cluster GPU Instances by the folks at Cycle Computing - " A Couple More Nails in the Coffin of the Private Compute Cluster " The Top500 supercomputer list. The Amazon.com 2010 Shareholder Letter Focusses on Technology.

Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Chip design choices and silicon economics are the defining feature of the still-growing Performance Inequality Gap. Today, either method returns a similar answer. A 2021 Global Baseline.

Engineering is the discipline of designing solutions under specific constraints. If you or your company are able to generate a credible worldwide latency estimate in the higher percentiles for next year's update, please get in touch. For topological reasons I expect next year's report to show similar progress in bandwidth but not RTTs.

Looking at sustained single-core bandwidth for a kernel composed of 100% reads, the trends for a large set of high-end AMD and Intel processors are shown in the figure below: So from 2010 to 2023, the sustainable single-core bandwidth increased by about 2x on Intel processors and about 5x on AMD processors. Details in the next blog entry.)
