Cache Hardware Latency Programming 
Scalegrid

Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. It can achieve impressive performance, handling up to 50 million operations per second.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. The call for participation ends on March 2nd 23:59 SGT! Ford, et al., “TCP

For example, iostat(1), or a monitoring agent, may tell you your average disk latency, but not the distribution of this latency. For smaller environments, it can be of more use helping eliminate latency outliers. The probe is BEGIN , a special probe that runs at the beginning of the program (like awk). There's no filter.
