These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.

This processor has a base clock speed of 2.0GHz, with an all-core boost speed of 2.55GHz, and a max boost clock speed of 3.0GHz. I wrote about using CPU-Z to benchmark the Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 processor in an Azure VM in this article. Figure 1: CPU-Z Benchmark Results for LS16v2. The L3 cache size is 64MB.

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web.

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. I am optimistic that they will have higher single-threaded CPU performance than Intel Cascade Lake-SP processors.

Created by Evan You, Vue had its first public appearance in 2014. Two primary metrics verify the speed of an app: start-up time and runtime performance. It provides scaffolding which can be used with build systems such as Browserify or Webpack (or no build system at all). Vue vs React: Performance.
