I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system. Longer answer follows: Here’s the main part from article, “Design for Manycore Systems” (August 11, 2009).

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. 2011 was special: it’s the year that we completed the transition to parallel computing in all mainstream form factors, with the arrival of multicore tablets (e.g., The free lunch is over. In 2005, however, mainstream computing hit a wall. Galaxy S II, Droid X2, iPhone 4S). There’s no going back.

This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. I also wrote about these topics in detail for my recent [Systems Performance 2nd Edition] book. Note that my predictions in this talk may be wrong, but they should be thought-provoking.

Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. If those specs sound eerily familiar, it's perhaps because they're identical to 2016's $200USD Moto G4 , all the way down to the 2011-vintage 28nm SoC process node used to fab the chip's anemic, 2012-vintage A53 cores.

The success of both tablets and smartphones (and to a lesser extent the fringe battlegrounds of e-readers and other specialized devices), as well as the rapid maturation of cloud-based services, has created a tech hardware war, an OS war, a bidding war for tech firms, and spawned a feeding frenzy in application development.

This talk originated from my updates to Systems Performance 2nd Edition , and this was the first time I've given this talk in person! CXL in a way allows a custom memory controller to be added to a system, to increase memory capacity, bandwidth, and overall performance. Ford, et al., “TCP

At Intel we've been creating a new analyzer tool to help reduce AI costs called AI Flame Graphs : a visualization that shows an AI accelerator or GPU hardware profile along with the full software stack, based on my CPU flame graphs. A flame graph is a visualization I invented in 2011 for showing sampled code stack traces.

Leading browsers had moved to 6-week update cadence by 2011 at the latest , routinely delivering fixes at a quick clip. Contrast that level of visible progress with Apple's manufactured scarcity around bug fix information. It, perhaps, has not helped that Apple's filings are noxious with contempt for the regulatory process.

In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. After finding it cost prohibitive to use colocation centers in local markets where their users are based, iZettle decided to give up hardware. iZettle, a mobile payments startup, is also ‘all-in’ on AWS.
