USENIX LISA2021 Computing Performance: On the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

I summarized these topics and more as a plenary conference talk, including my own predictions (as a senior performance engineer) for the future of computing performance, with a focus on back-end servers. Ford, et al., “TCP

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

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

Real-World Effectiveness of Brotli

CSS Wizardry

21 years later, in 2013, Google launched Brotli, a new algorithm that claims even greater improvement than Gzip! Put another way, file-size savings help you to cram data into lower bandwidth, but if you’re latency-bound, the speed at which those admittedly fewer chunks of data arrive will not change. decrease in file-size.

Gzip vs Brotli – Best Browser Compression

MachMetrics

Simply put, compression allows the web server to send smaller files to your web site viewers. When someone enters your URL and requests your site, their browser will indicate to the web server that it understands compression (and which type it understands). What is HTTP Compression? Gzip Compression. How Do I Enable Gzip?

QUIC - Faster Content Delivery on Layer 4

KeyCDN

Google has been working for quite some time to speed up its network protocols in order to minimize website response times. After HTTP/2 has fulfilled its task of speeding up HTTP(S) and has become the basis for fast TLS connections, QUIC goes one step further by aiming to replace the TCP transport protocol in the Internet.
