5.5 mm in 1.25 nanoseconds

Randon ASCII

The Xbox 360 CPU had three PowerPC cores and a 1 MB L2 cache and these features are clearly visible on the wafer. In the die picture to the right (which looks to be about 14 mm by 12 mm) you can see the regular pattern of small black rectangles in the bottom right corner – that’s the L2 cache. I wrote a lot of benchmarks.

PostgreSQL: Pgpool-II Use Cases and Benefits

Percona

Query caching Pgpool-II can cache frequently used queries in memory, reducing the load on your PostgreSQL servers and improving response times. This means that when a query is executed, pgpool-II can check the cache first to see if the results are already available rather than sending the query to the database server.

Static Analysis of Java Enterprise Applications: Frameworks and Caches, the Elephants in the Room

The Morning Paper

Static analysis of Java enterprise applications: frameworks and caches, the elephants in the room , Antoniadis et al., However, collecting a set of sizable, realistic benchmarks, showing that their analysis is feasible, and making progress in its precision are good ways to ensure further research in this high-value area.

Evaluating the Evaluation: A Benchmarking Checklist

Brendan Gregg

These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?
