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. Ford, et al., “TCP

It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., Ford, et al., “TCP on Upcoming Sapphire Rapids CPUs,” [link] Oct 2020 - [Liu 20] Linda Liu, “Samsung QVO vs EVO vs PRO: What’s the Difference?

The throughput of this pipeline is more important than the latency of the individual operations. Also more details can be found on the AWS Developer blog. Comments ().

As a part of that process, we also realized that there were a number of latency sensitive or location specific use cases like Hadoop, HPC, and testing that would be ideal for Spot. To get started using Spot or for more details visit the Amazon EC2 Spot Instance web page, the AWS developer blog , and the EC2 Release Notes. Contact Info.

Amazon S3 and Amazon SimpleDB are examples of AWS services that are designed using these high-availability principles using an eventual consistency model. Comments ().
