Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. In early January a related paper was published by Satoshi Matsuoka et. petaflops, which is 0.8%

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes. The storage device has performance characteristics pretty similar to an AWS gp2 EBS volume of about 330 GB in size.

The broken Java stacks turned out to be beneficial: They helped group together the os::javaTimeMillis() calls which otherwise might have have been scattered on top of different Java code paths, appearing as thin stacks everywhere. Without NMI, some kernel code paths (interrupts disabled) can't be profiled.

Therefore, frontend code is responsible for permission checks and privacy-preserving transformations that protect user’s data. A Piazza-style class forum discussion application with 1M posts, 1,000 classes, and a privacy policy allowing TAs to see anonymous posts is used as the basis for benchmarking.

Have we optimized enough with tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, progressive hydration, clients hints, HTTP/3, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? It’s much easier to reach performance goals when the code base is fresh or is just being refactored.
