You’ll try this with a few other algorithms, and their respective tuning parameters–maybe even break out TensorFlow to build a custom neural net along the way–and the winning model will be the one that heads to production. You might say that the outcome of this exercise is a performant predictive model. That’s sort of true.

Copying paintings by great artists is still an exercise for aspiring artists—although most of us recognize that more paintings in the style of Vermeer aren’t interesting as works of art. After his images were removed from Stable Diffusion’s training data, fans developed an alternate model that was tuned to produce images in Rutkowski’s style.

A co-worker introduced me to Craig Hanson and Pat Crain's performance mantras, which neatly summarize much of what we do in performance analysis and tuning. sounds like a homework exercise of purely academic value. They are: **Performance mantras**. Don't do it. Do it, but don't do it again. Do it less. Do it later. Do it concurrently.

So when their compiled application sends ad hoc queries to SQL Server, particularly as a prepared statement, and when we don't have the freedom to add or change indexes, several tuning opportunities are immediately off the table. In this case, we had a table with a couple million rows. A simplified and sanitized version: CREATE TABLE dbo.

The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. of the “adjusted peak performance”, there is no longer a significant upside to performance tuning. There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. Instead, we found puzzle after puzzle.

Some of the profiles are more detailed and interesting than others, but what I enjoyed most was seeing the patterns emerge (for example, you can almost do a 50 ⁄ 50 split of people who claimed long walks and exercise were the key to their success, versus people who turned to some sort of drugs or medicine to keep themselves going).
