All of the SPECfp_rate2000 results were downloaded from www.spec.org, the results were sorted by processor type, and “peak floating-point operations per cycle” was manually added for each processor type. This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.

Given all this, we thought it would be a good opportunity to see how we are doing relative to the competition, and in particular, relative to Microsoft’s AppFabric caching for Windows on-premise servers. One or more specified cache servers are unavailable, which could be caused by busy network or servers. …). Please retry later.

on Myths and Legends of High Performance Computing  — it’s a somewhat light-hearted look at some of the same issues by the leader of the team that built the Fugaku system I mention below. HPCG is led by Japan’s RIKEN Fugaku system at 16 petaflops, which is 3% of it’s peak capacity. petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.

It is typically reduced via server-side optimizations, such as enabling caching and database indexes. However, we really want to strive to be under the benchmarks that Google sets as a best practice. Even better if you’re under Google’s best practice benchmark. seconds on desktop and 2.59 seconds on mobile.

The PostgreSQL buffer is called shared_buffer which is the most effective tunable parameter for most operating systems. This parameter sets how much dedicated memory will be used by PostgreSQL for cache. It’s low because certain machines and operating systems do not support higher values. wal_buffers.

You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario. Microsoft's Mine Tokus has a good article where she ran a series of scaled down TPC-E benchmarks against an E64s_v3 VM that was using the older Broadwell processor.

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

Today, the website is much faster and ranks highly in various showcases and benchmarks. And while you can usually cache the full page of an article, the same is not true of many shop pages and elements. This way, the file can be cached on the server and in the browser, and no superfluous SVGs will need to be interpreted.
