A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Not as much as we'd like, of course, but the worldwide baseline has changed enormously. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. There are differences, of course, but not where it counts.

This might be very different for your company, of course, but that’s a close enough approximation of a majority of customers out there. 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). Both of them are great introductions for diving into Webpack.

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). Of course, your data might show that your customers are not on these devices, but perhaps they simply don’t show up in your analytics because your service is inaccessible to them due to slow performance.

Chrome has missed several APIs for 3+ years: Storage Access API. An extension to Service Workers that enables browsers to present users with cached content when offline. is access to hardware devices. This allows customisation and use of specialised features without custom, proprietary software for niche hardware.

Krste Asanovic from UC Berkeley kicked off the main program sharing his experience on “ Rejuvenating Computer Architecture Research with Open-Source Hardware ”. He ended the keynote with a call to action for open hardware and tools to start the next wave of computing innovation. This year’s MICRO had three inspiring keynote talks.

An obvious metric here is CPU usage, but memory usage and other forms of data storage also play their part. A particular favorite in the WordPress space is WP Super Cache.

Add onto that the yawning chasm between low-end and high-end device performance thanks to chip design factors like cache sizes, and it can be difficult to know where to set a device baseline. Time required to read bytes from disk (it’s not zero, even on flash-based storage!). Time to execute and run our code.
