The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. Today, either method returns a similar answer. Tap for a larger version. How bad is it?

Enhanced User Experience Whether you operate an e-commerce platform, a content management system, or any other application reliant on MySQL, users will notice and appreciate the improved speed and responsiveness. These issues often arise from suboptimal query design, missing or ineffective indexes, or dealing with large datasets.

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. Vikings fight zombies.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project.

Design: Performance is the gap between Figma mockups and the user experience of products for many, but not all , users. The extent to which a product performs well, the higher its likelihood of behaving in accordance to the approved design spec. The speed of a client device isn't the limiting site speed factor in an HTML-first world.
