This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. I also wrote about these topics in detail for my recent [Systems Performance 2nd Edition] book. Note that my predictions in this talk may be wrong, but they should be thought provoking.

The new DGX-2, which achieves 2 petaFLOPS in the system, combines 16 fully interconnected GPUS with 10x the deep learning performance. HPU: Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) is the specific hardware of Microsoft’s Hololens. SPU: Stream Processing Unit (SPU) is related to the specialized hardware to process the data streams of video.

This makes memory a critical factor in the total cost of ownership (TCO) of large compute clusters, or as Google like to call them “Warehouse-scale computers (WSCs).” ” This paper describes a “far memory” system that has been in production deployment at Google since 2016. Enter zswap!

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.
