High Scalability

JULY 20, 2018

Cliff Click : The JVM is very good at eliminating the cost of code abstraction, but not the cost of data abstraction. That means multiple data indirections mean multiple cache misses. They are very expensive. This is where your performance goes. It doesn't scale down to the point that is ridiculous and painful. Not so many this week.
