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 cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. The Moto G4 , for example.

Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes. I tend to recommend increasing this value to a higher number after examining the Plan Cache.

Is Intel Doomed in the Server CPU Space?

SQL Performance

This situation was so bad that Microsoft offered a 25% discount on the cost of SQL Server processor core licenses for SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014, if you ran on qualifying AMD Opteron processors with six or more cores. They will also have up to 256MB of L3 cache per processor.

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX): Speed Up DynamoDB Response Times from Milliseconds to Microseconds without Application Rewrite.

All Things Distributed

Today, I'm excited to announce the general availability of Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) , a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache that can speed up DynamoDB response times from milliseconds to microseconds, even at millions of requests per second. Fully managed cache for DynamoDB.
