This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. I also wrote about these topics in detail for my recent [Systems Performance 2nd Edition] book. Note that my predictions in this talk may be wrong, but they should be thought provoking.

At Amazon, we also require our systems and customer solutions to be anti-fragile, and we do that by designing our systems to stand the test of time. Our systems must be able to evolve and become more resilient to failure. and the digital transformation have already been important focus areas for them since 2011.

Leading browsers had moved to 6-week update cadence by 2011 at the latest , routinely delivering fixes at a quick clip. This lack of transparency is by design and provides Apple deniability while simultaneously setting low expectations, making them easier to exceed. What choice do developers have, but to sit and stew? But needs must.

I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system. Longer answer follows: Here’s the main part from article, “Design for Manycore Systems” (August 11, 2009).
