This way, log event processing can resume event-by-event afterwards, eventually discovering the watermarks, without ever needing to cache log event entries. This is why our approach is briefly pausing log processing during steps 2–4 so that the watermarks are not missed. Proceedings of the Third ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing.

It was heralded as an amazing performance revolution, with exciting new features such as server push, parallel streams, and prioritization. We would have been able to stop bundling resources, stop sharding our resources across multiple servers, and heavily streamline the page-loading process. Why Do We Need HTTP/3?

Simply put, compression allows the web server to send smaller files to your web site viewers. When someone enters your URL and requests your site, their browser will indicate to the web server that it understands compression (and which type it understands). What is HTTP Compression? Gzip Compression. How Do I Enable Gzip?

This was starting to look like a Windows file cache bug. Maybe something to do with multi-socket coherency of the disk and cache or ??? This bug shows up from Server 2008 R2 (Windows 7) up to the latest stable build of Windows 10 and OS fixes will take a while to propagate so you might as well be careful.

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.

Reactjs has the capability of server-side rendering, which offers a power boost to the SEO of a web page or an application and helps in fetching more organic traffic. When a web crawler visits a server that has already rendered the content and pictures, indexing and caching of the content becomes quicker. React Native.

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. Despite all of this, Intel is not going to lose their entire server processor business any time soon. So, what has changed my mind?

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The fastest Androids predictably remain 18-24 months behind, owing to cheapskate choices about cache sizing by Qualcomm, Samsung Semi, and all the rest. The Moto G4 , for example.
