Back in 2017 the engineering team at Facebook had a problem. That’s not just theoretical, Facebook actually did this in production while Delos was processing over 1.8 The evaluation section has lots of good information on experiences running Delos in production, as well as some synthetic benchmarks. Every little helps!

What about short-lived processes, like a service restarting in a loop? I love short benchmarks like this as I can disassemble the resulting binary and ensure that the compiled instructions match my expectations, and the compiler hasen't messed with it. ## 7. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU.

This blog was originally published in July 2017 and was updated in August 2023. This means that multiple partitions can be processed simultaneously, making better use of available hardware resources and further enhancing query performance. It’s a pretty common question around here, so let’s see what we can do about that.

Answering it requires an understanding of how browsers process resources (which differs by type) and the concept of the critical path.

One year after a Tock release Intel would take that same microarchitecture (with some minor improvements), and use a shrink of the manufacturing process to create a Tick release. The Tick-Tock release cycle basically fell apart by about 2015 , as Intel was unable to move from a 14nm manufacturing process to a 10nm manufacturing process.

To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. Right now, widely-used benchmarks for AI code generation (e.g.,

A 2017 study by Akamai says as much when it found that even a 100ms delay in page load can decrease conversions by 7% and lose 1% of their sales for every 100ms it takes for their site to load which, at the time of the study, was equivalent to $1.6 This process can be “blocked” if it has to wait for resources to load before it runs.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. WebGL 2 launched for other platforms on Chrome and Firefox in 2017.

Windows has long had a reputation for slow file operations and slow process creation. Sometimes the most important piece of information you can have when trying to make some process faster is just knowing that it could be faster. Have you ever wanted to make these operations even slower? Noticing that something is wrong.
