The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()? But I'm not completely sure.

Introducing SVT-AV1: a scalable open-source AV1 framework

The Netflix TechBlog

264/AVC, currently, the most ubiquitous video compression standard supported by modern devices, often in hardware. The encoder can typically be improved years after the standard has been frozen including varying speed and quality trade-offs. The encoder speed helps innovation, as it is faster to run experiments.

Seamless offloading of web app computations from mobile device to edge clouds via HTML5 Web Worker migration

The Morning Paper

Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. As such, web workers are a natural target to offload to a more powerful server.

HammerDB for Managers

HammerDB

This post is targeted towards the questions most often asked by non-technical management who want to get up to speed on what HammerDB is (what it isn’t) and how it can benefit their organization. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software.
