The evolution of single-core bandwidth in multicore processors

John McCalpin

For most high-end processors these values have remained in the range of 75% to 85% of the peak DRAM bandwidth of the system over the past 15-20 years — an amazing accomplishment given the increase in core count (with its associated cache coherence issues), number of DRAM channels, and ever-increasing pipelining of the DRAMs themselves.

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

Expanding the Cloud – An AWS Region is coming to Hong Kong

All Things Distributed

In 2010, we opened our first AWS Region in Singapore and since then have opened additional regions: Japan, Australia, China, Korea, and India. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. However, we do not plan to slow down and we are not stopping there.

Expanding the Cloud with DNS - Introducing Amazon Route 53 - All.

All Things Distributed

By Werner Vogels on 05 December 2010 02:00 PM. There are two main types of DNS servers: authoritative servers and caching resolvers. But the real robustness of the DNS system comes through the way lookups are handled, which is what caching resolvers do. The Amazon.com 2010 Shareholder Letter Focusses on Technology.

KeyCDN Launches POP in Helsinki

KeyCDN

Although both countries are relatively close to one another, they are separated by a distance of approximately 500km, which adds up in terms of latency. As of 2010, Finland has become the first country in the world to make Internet access a legal right.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The fastest Androids predictably remain 18-24 months behind, owing to cheapskate choices about cache sizing by Qualcomm, Samsung Semi, and all the rest. The Moto G4 , for example.
