I’m going to put them together especially and only for C++ and Beyond 2012 , and I’ll be giving them nowhere else this year: C++ Concurrency – 2012 State of the Art (and Standard). C++ Parallelism – 2012 State of the Art (and Standard). I hope to see many of you at C&B 2012. And there’s a lot to tell. I can’t wait.

We designed DynamoDB to operate with at least 99.999% availability. We started with Amazon Dynamo, a simple key-value store that was built to be highly available and scalable to power various mission-critical applications in Amazon’s e-commerce platform. In 2012, we launched Amazon DynamoDB, the successor to Amazon Dynamo.

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

In leaner years (2012-2015), a single Fall release was all we'd get. This lack of transparency is by design and provides Apple deniability while simultaneously setting low expectations, making them easier to exceed. Two releases per year meant that, for a decade, progress on WebKit bugs was a roulette that developers lost by default.

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).

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Modern network performance and availability. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version.
