Tim Berners-Lee tweets that 'This is for everyone' at the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony using the NeXT computer he used to build the first browser and web server. The difference in weight between the two architectures is interesting, but what we should focus on is the per interaction loop. Today's web architecture debates (e.g.

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

This week I updated three of those posts — two really old ones (primarily of interest to computer architecture historians), and one from 2018: July 2012: Local and Remote Memory Latency on AMD Processors in 2-socket and 4-socket servers.

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. If those specs sound eerily familiar, it's perhaps because they're identical to 2016's $200USD Moto G4 , all the way down to the 2011-vintage 28nm SoC process node used to fab the chip's anemic, 2012-vintage A53 cores. Tap for a larger version.

By Werner Vogels on 25 September 2012 06:00 PM. Being able to get consistent performance from the database tier has a huge impact on the application architecture. As a consequence, these simpler architectures are more cost-effective and easier to make reliable because there are fewer moving parts. s architecture.

For example, AWS customers use SQS for asynchronous communication pipelines, buffer queues for databases, asynchronous work queues, and moving latency out of highly responsive requests paths.
