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! Ford, et al., “TCP

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. iZettle, a mobile payments startup, is also ‘all-in’ on AWS.

To be robust and scalable, this key/value store needs to be distributed for durability and availability, to protect against network partitions or hardware failures. This architecture affords Amazon ECS high availability, low latency, and high throughput because the data store is never pessimistically locked.

Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Compared to devices wealthy developers carry, the performance is night and (blinding) day.
