Last time out we saw how Google have been able to save millions of dollars though memory compression enabled via zswap. Looking across a set of eight Java benchmarks, we find that only two of them are array dominated, the rest having between 40% to 75% of the heap footprint allocated to objects, the vast majority of which are small.

This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language. One, by researching on the Internet; Two, by developing small programs and benchmarking. Most of us, as we spend years in our jobs — tend to be proficient in at least one of these.

To be clear, these languages were not designed to be fast or space-efficient, but for ease of use. Unfortunately, languages like Python have proven resistant to efficient implementation, partly because of their design, and partly because of limitations imposed by the need to interop with C code. As Leiserson et al.

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. PowerPoint or Google Slides). This is as it should be. CSS Custom Paint.
