Faster remainders when the divisor is a constant: beating compilers and libdivide

Daniel Lemire

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. We also published our benchmarks for research purposes. I make my benchmarking code available.

SKP's Java/Java EE Gotchas: Clash of the Titans, C++ vs. Java!

DZone

This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language. Recently, I spent some time checking on the Performance (not a very detailed study) of the various programming languages.

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems

The Morning Paper

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems Gan et al., A typical architecture diagram for one of these services looks like this: Suitably armed with a set of benchmark microservices applications, the investigation can begin! Hardware implications.

Five-nines availability: Always-on infrastructure delivers system availability during the holidays’ peak loads

Dynatrace

Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. Traditionally, teams achieve this high level of uptime using a combination of high-capacity hardware, system redundancy, and failover models. But is five nines availability attainable? Each decimal point closer to 100 equals higher uptime.

What programming languages does HammerDB use and why does it matter?

HammerDB

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. However, it is crucial that the benchmarking application does not have inherent bottlenecks that artificially limits the scalability of the database. This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset.

From Heavy Metal to Irrational Exuberance

ACM Sigarch

In fact, according to Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey , JavaScript and Python are now the #1 and #2 most used programming languages, respectively (excluding HTML/CSS and SQL as “programming languages”). There’s some work on hardware proposals for these systems, like Zhu et al.,

Spying on the floating point behavior of existing, unmodified scientific applications

The Morning Paper

Furthermore, as hardware and compiler optimisations rapidly evolve, it is challenging even for a knowledgeable developer to keep up. The study is conducted using a suite of 7 real-world popular scientific applications, and two well-established benchmark suites: Miniaero solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equation. The applications.
