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.”

All of the SPECfp_rate2000 results were downloaded from www.spec.org, the results were sorted by processor type, and “peak floating-point operations per cycle” was manually added for each processor type. This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.

You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario. Microsoft's Mine Tokus has a good article where she ran a series of scaled down TPC-E benchmarks against an E64s_v3 VM that was using the older Broadwell processor.

on Myths and Legends of High Performance Computing  — it’s a somewhat light-hearted look at some of the same issues by the leader of the team that built the Fugaku system I mention below. HPCG is led by Japan’s RIKEN Fugaku system at 16 petaflops, which is 3% of it’s peak capacity. petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.

Have you ever wanted to make these operations even slower? This weeks’ blog post covers a technique you can use to make all file operations on Windows run at one tenth their normal speed (or slower), in a way that will be untraceable for most users! And, of course, this post will also cover how to detect and avoid this problem.

SQL Server defines stable media as storage that can survive system restart or common failure. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. These systems must maintain support for I/O ordering.

Every front-end developer is chasing the same holy grail of performance: green scores in Google Page Speed. Real-life performance for your users and how the website “feels” when you’re using it should not be discounted, even if it costs you a point or two in Page Speed (otherwise, we would all just have a search bar and unstyled text).
