Furthermore, as hardware and compiler optimisations rapidly evolve, it is challenging even for a knowledgeable developer to keep up. The study is conducted using a suite of 7 real-world popular scientific applications, and two well-established benchmark suites: Miniaero solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equation. lines of code.

Was there some other program consuming CPU, like a misbehaving Ubuntu service that wasn't in CentOS? 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.

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Named dimensions improve readability by making it easier to determine how dimensions in the code correspond to the semantic dimensions described in,e.g.,

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Provides support for "unread counts", e.g. for email and chat programs.

Introduction: In December 2017, my colleague Damon McDougall (now at AMD) asked for help in porting the fused multiply-add example code from a Colfax report ( [link] ) to the Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing) processors here at TACC. Instead, we found puzzle after puzzle. Instead, we found puzzle after puzzle.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Front-end developers are cursed to program the Devil's computer. Most sorts of sites have shallow sessions, making up-front script costs hard to justify.

Java used to power core file system code. Python used to power client-side code, certain microservices, migration scripts, internal scripts. We use event-based sync in our desktop sync client code, as server events are happening they get pushed to the client from server and the client replays them locally.
