How architecture evolves into strategy

O'Reilly Software

I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture. Architecture begins when someone has a nontrivial problem to be solved. Everyone who goes to architecture school learns his work. It must be beautiful, like Venus, inspiring love.

Customer Conversations - How Intuit and Edmodo Innovate using.

All Things Distributed

Jack: Since our launch in late 2008, weve grown to over 6 million teachers and students globally primarily through word of mouth of teachers who have shared Edmodo with each other. Troy: The initial architecture was based on MySQL– weve continued with use of SQL but are now leveraging RDS. And how about you Troy?

The Surprising Effectiveness of Non-Overlapping, Sensitivity-Based Performance Models

John McCalpin

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors and SQL Server

SQL Performance

This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors. I would argue that the advantages of the AMD EPYC 7002 Series include: A more modern modular architecture. Higher memory speed and bandwidth. Higher memory density/capacity.

Is Intel Doomed in the Server CPU Space?

SQL Performance

Intel officially moved on to what they call " Process- Architecture-Optimization (PAO) " in early 2016. Intel server processors have historically delivered significantly better single-threaded CPU performance and lower power consumption than competing AMD processors since the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture in 2008.

Top500 list: a brief introduction

PDC

However, the speed of a computer in FLOPS can vary depending on the number of bits used in the representation of the floating point numbers in the tests. You might have noticed that there is a turning point in 2008 where the increase in performance of the 500 th machine slowed down slightly. The Top500 list (Nov 2018).
