The Morning Paper

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019

There were so many interesting papers at the conference this year though that I haven’t been able to cover nearly as many as I would like. If everything’s going SQL again, then Block as a value for SQL over NoSQL might come in handy, a new middleware approach to speed up SQL query evaluation over NoSQL underlying systems. Yes please!

The success of our early results with the Dynamo database encouraged us to write Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper and share it at the 2007 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP conference), so that others in the industry could benefit.

To counter this, the school he was visiting sets up their own local caching server. A local caching server, meant to speed up commonly-requested sites and reduce bandwidth usage, is a “man in the middle”. HTTPS, which by design prevents man-in-the-middle attacks, utterly breaks local caching servers.

Summary of types of applications for supercomputers We spent most of the conference walking around the expo and talking to people, rather than attending technical sessions, and asked several people why other vendors weren’t copying Fugaku, and what improvements in architecture were on the horizon. spec was released in mid-2022.

And while there are already numerous conferences, videos, and evangelists for PWAs, there's less focus on testing and tracking the performance of PWAs. In addition to the PWA offline script, we have these other script templates: Repeat View - See what performance is like when the cache is full.

A Primer on Speed. Discussing performance and “speed” can quickly get complex, because many underlying aspects contribute to a web-page loading “slowly”. It is physically limited by the speed of light or, practically, how fast signals can travel in wires or in the open air. also “only” take two round trips ((b) is rarely shown).

In 2009 at Velocity–the annual performance optimization conference–there was a flurry of information released by companies that clearly demonstrated how performance effects key business objectives. Shopzilla presented information detailing how they were able to speed up their site from 4-6 seconds to 1.5 21% less searches.
