I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. He hasn’t changed.

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. Bear in mind that the internet currently takes 4ms from New York to Philadelphia.

As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. Colleagues/Internet I love using [Linux performance tools]. But I also love solving issues quickly, and sometimes that means just asking colleagues or searching the Internet.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Geekbench CPU performance benchmarks for the highest selling smartphones globally in 2019. On a middle-class mobile device, that accounts for 15–25 seconds for Time-To-Interactive.
