That meant I started having regular meetings with the hardware engineers who were working with IBM on the CPU which gave me even more expertise on this CPU, which was critical in helping me discover a design flaw in one of its instructions , and in helping game developers master this finicky beast. I wrote a lot of benchmarks.

But any time memory and application logic moves into Python land, it’s game over. I suggest it’s long past time to move beyond C and SPEC benchmarks and our exclusive focus on “metal” languages. There’s some work on hardware proposals for these systems, like Zhu et al., MICRO 15 , Gope et al.,

Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. 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. But the hardware future is not evenly distributed, and web workloads aren't heavily parallel. Today, either method returns a similar answer.

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later).
