Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow. The sharding architecture consists of several components: Shard Servers : Shard servers are individual nodes within the sharded cluster.

A scalable architecture needs to distribute work across many threads in order to facilitate all the CPUs of a physical or virtual machine. Locking is the Achilles heel of any multi-threaded architecture. Such behavior not only limits speed but also your ability to increase throughput by adding resources.

This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors. It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). Higher memory speed and bandwidth.

This blog post gives a glimpse of the computer systems research papers presented at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC) 2019, with an emphasis on systems that use new hardware architectures. As a consequence, the vast majority of the papers in the past has usually focused on conventional X86 or GPU-accelerated architectures.

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.”
