Evaluating the Evaluation: A Benchmarking Checklist

Brendan Gregg

These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

Fixing a slow site iteratively

CSS - Tricks

Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates. With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. It’s inherently tied to everything we build and develop.

A peculiar throughput limitation on Intel’s Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing)

John McCalpin

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. Using the minimum number of accumulator registers needed to tolerate the pipeline latency (12), the assembly code for the inner loop is: B1.8:
