CSS Wizardry

NOVEMBER 9, 2018

Despite having been called CSS Wizardry for over a decade now, there hasn’t been a great deal of CSS-related content on this site for a while. Let me address that by combining my two favourite topics: CSS and performance. CSS is critical to rendering a page—a browser will not begin rendering until all CSS has been found, downloaded, and parsed—so it is imperative that we get it onto a user’s device as fast as we possibly can.

High performance computing (HPC) clusters are able to solve big problems using a large number of processors. This is also known as parallel computing , where many processors work simultaneously to produce exceptional computational power and to significantly reduce the total computational time. In such scenarios, scalability or scaling is widely used to indicate the ability of hardware and software to deliver greater computational power when the amount of resources is increased.

At some point potential Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) users want to know – “How fast does this thing go?” The real question is “how do we measure that?” The simplest test is to run a single VM, with a single disk and issue a single IO at a time. We see often see this sort of test in bake-offs, and such a test does answer an important question – “what’s the lowest possible response time I can expect from the storage” However, this test
