Real user monitoring vs. synthetic monitoring: Understanding best practices

Dynatrace

For example, the ability to test against a wireless provider in a remote area. connectivity, access, user count, latency) of geographic regions. Synthetic monitoring is well suited for catching regressions during development lifecycles, especially with network throttling. Performance testing based on variable metrics (i.e.,

A 5G future

O'Reilly

The most obvious change 5G might bring about isn’t to cell phones but to local networks, whether at home or in the office. Back in the 1980s, Nicholas Negroponte said everything wired will become wireless, and everything wireless will become wired. High-speed networks through 5G may represent the next generation of cord cutting.

The Future in Visual Computing: Research Challenges

ACM Sigarch

Each of these categories opens up challenging problems in AI/visual algorithms, high-density computing, bandwidth/latency, distributed systems. One such example is activity recognition in motion video (such as LRCN , Convnets ) which may entail running combinations of both convolutional as well as recurrent neural networks simultaneously.

HTTP/3: Performance Improvements (Part 2)

Smashing Magazine

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT). Congestion Control.

HTTP/3: Practical Deployment Options (Part 3)

Smashing Magazine

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). Using just a few (but still more than one), however, could nicely balance congestion growth with better performance, especially on high-speed networks. Servers and Networks. Network Configuration.
