The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

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.

Progress Delayed Is Progress Denied

Alex Russell

At the time of the last Confluence run, the gap had stretched to nearly 1000 APIs, doubling since 2016. Real-time network protocols for enabling videoconferencing, desktop sharing, and game streaming applications. Modern, asynchronous network APIs that dramatically improve performance in some situations. Delayed five years.

Can You Afford It?: Real-world Web Performance Budgets

Alex Russell

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The median user is on a slow network.

Intel discloses “vector+SIMD” instructions for future processors

John McCalpin

In the latest (October 2016) revision of Intel’s Instruction Extensions Programming Reference , Intel has disclosed a fairly dramatic departure from these “traditional” approaches. E.g., on Haswell you can execute two loads per cycle of any size or alignment as long as neither crosses a cache-line boundary.
