In the simplest case, you have a growing workload, and you optimize it to run more efficiently so that you don’t need to buy or rent additional hardware, so your carbon footprint stays the same, but the carbon per transaction or operation is going down. I’ve written before about how to tune out retry storms.

Introduction: In December 2017, my colleague Damon McDougall (now at AMD) asked for help in porting the fused multiply-add example code from a Colfax report ( [link] ) to the Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing) processors here at TACC. of the “adjusted peak performance”, there is no longer a significant upside to performance tuning.

A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. If tuned for performance, there is a good change reliability is compromised - and vice versa. A data pipeline can process data in a different order than they were received.

This is possible because the Tcl interpreter is exceptionally compact and lightweight (Also for this reason Tcl is often used as an embedded language in hardware such as Cisco Routers). Running a performance profiling tool such as perf in Linux we can see that the top event is TEBCresume standing for Tcl Execute Byte Code.

This can make it difficult to draw sound performance-tuning conclusions. This uses hardware, typically a crystal oscillator, that produces ticks at a very high constant rate regardless of processor speed, power settings, or anything of that nature. SQL Server uses the high-precision QueryPerformanceCounter API to capture timing data.

Even with cloud-based foundation models like GPT-4, which eliminate the need to develop your own model or provide your own infrastructure, fine-tuning a model for any particular use case is still a major undertaking. That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure.

” Each step has been a twist on “what if we could write code to interact with a tamper-resistant ledger in real-time?” Doubly so as hardware improved, eating away at the lower end of Hadoop-worthy work. Mental contortions led to code contortions led to frustration. And, often, to giving up.

As such, tuning congestion logic is usually only done by a select few developers, and evolution is slow. Some options for doing this are described in the IETF’s proposed document. Many network interface controllers (NICs) even have built-in hardware-offload features for TCP. What does it all mean?
