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!

Due to the exponential growth of the biology and informatics fields, Unilever needs to maintain this new program within a highly-scalable environment that supports parallel computation and heavy data storage demands. In addition, its robust architecture supports ten times as many scientists, all working simultaneously.

It's an exciting development in cloud computing: hardware virtualization is now fast. I've summarized hypervisor developments in EC2 with the above diagram. But not all workloads: some are network bound (proxies) and storage bound (databases). ## 5. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. The first was c3.

It progressed from “raw compute and storage” to “reimplementing key services in push-button fashion” to “becoming the backbone of AI work”—all under the umbrella of “renting time and storage on someone else’s computers.” ” (It will be easier to fit in the overhead storage.)

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

Developers also suffer higher costs and reduced opportunities to escape Google, Facebook, and Apple's walled gardens. Web engineers frequently refer to browsers as "User Agents", a nod to their unique role as interpreters of developer intent that give users the final say over how the web is experienced. How can that be?

Our straining database infrastructure on Oracle led us to evaluate if we could develop a purpose-built database that would support our business needs for the long term. Manageable – The service would need to be easy to manage and operate. This was perhaps the most important requirement if we wanted a broad set of users to adopt the service.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage. These interactions allow me to understand their emerging needs, which I take back to our development teams to further iterate on our services. Saving crucial milliseconds.

To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. This choice also inspired me to call my project Swift Papers. But still, I liked how Moment.js

For example, the IMDG must be able to efficiently create millions of objects in each server to make use of its huge storage capacity. Also, load-balancing after membership changes must be both multi-threaded and pipelined to drive the network at maximum bandwidth. Please retry later.

We are rapidly entering into an era where massive computing power, digital storage and global network connections can be deployed by anyone as quickly and easily as turning on the lights. They own the data – they choose where to store the data and their data would never be moved to optimise the network.
