as an (eventual) exercise of monopolistic power that held the web back for more than a decade? Even in Chromium , DSD was delayed by several quarters; because of the Apple Browser Ban, full ecosystem availability has been postponed for an additional two years. But what if developers see behind the veil?

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones. A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures.

As the chart shows because we know that both HammerDB and the implementation of the TPC-C workload scales then we can determine that with this particular database engine both the software and hardware scales as well. If you only test your own application (and if you have more than one application which one will you use for benchmarking?)

The ability of a datacenter to handle traffic changes over time as capacity is added or removed, and hardware upgraded The routing needs to be able to tolerate failures without making the situation worse. Sharing is caring caching. See algorithm 1 in section 3.2.1 of the paper for the details. Routing end-to-end.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. This is an uninspiring fraction of peak performance that would normally suggest significant inefficiencies in either the hardware or software.

This incredible power is available for anyone to use in the usual pay-as-you-go model, removing the investment barrier that has kept many organizations from adopting GPUs for their workloads even though they knew there would be significant performance benefit. The different stages were then load balanced across the available units.
