Most partners we work with are not aware of the real-world operating environment and make inappropriate technology choices as a result. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project.

Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. In early January a related paper was published by Satoshi Matsuoka et. petaflops, which is 0.8%

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.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. The Moto G4 , for example.
