Why OpenStack is like a Crowdfunded Viking Movie

VoltDB

Hardware Optimizers” want to get the maximum utilization out of hardware. These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out. Attendees could be broken down into several distinct groups. Where VoltDB fits.

SKP's Java/Java EE Gotchas: Clash of the Titans, C++ vs. Java!

DZone

This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language. One, by researching on the Internet; Two, by developing small programs and benchmarking. Most of us, as we spend years in our jobs — tend to be proficient in at least one of these.

From Heavy Metal to Irrational Exuberance

ACM Sigarch

The focus of most published research in architecture is on applications implemented in high-performance, “ close-to-the-metal” languages essentially developed before computers got fast. I suggest it’s long past time to move beyond C and SPEC benchmarks and our exclusive focus on “metal” languages.

Five-nines availability: Always-on infrastructure delivers system availability during the holidays’ peak loads

Dynatrace

Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. Instead, to speed up response times, applications are now processing most data at the network’s perimeter, closest to the data’s origin. But is five nines availability attainable? Each decimal point closer to 100 equals higher uptime.

The top 5 reasons to run your own database benchmarks

HammerDB

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2024

Alex Russell

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Meanwhile, budget segment devices have finally started to see improvement ( as this series predicted ), thanks to hand-me-down architecture and process node improvements.
