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. The emergence of chiplet technology also allows higher performance and integration without having to design every chip from scratch.

Similarly, relationships are essential in many other use cases such as financial modeling, risk analysis, genome research, search, gaming, and others. When using relational databases, traversing relationships requires expensive table JOIN operations, causing significantly increased latency as table size and query complexity grow.

Developers love the performance, simplicity, and in-memory capabilities of Redis, making it among the most popular NoSQL key-value stores. Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching. ElastiCache for Redis delivers predictable microsecond latencies and is super easy to use. Under the hood.

Today, we added two important choices for customers running high performance apps in the cloud: support for Redis in Amazon ElastiCache and a new high memory database instance (db.cr1.8xlarge) for Amazon RDS. AWS offers its customers a choice of different database services, each optimized for different workloads.
