Content Management Systems of the Future: Headless, JAMstack, ADN and Functions at the Edge

Abhishek Tiwari

When it comes to innovation, most of CMS solutions are constrained by their legacy architecture (read strong coupling between content management and content presentation) which makes it difficult to serve content to new types of emerging channels such as apps and devices. Eventually, we decided to move them to Jekyll.

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. mid-priced Androids were slightly faster than 2014's iPhone 6. The Moto G4 , for example. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively.

For the previous cache miss buffer example, the 32-buffer answer is minimal for 100-ns average miss latency.
