These use their regression models to estimate processing time (which will depend on the hardware available, current load, etc.). Why would we want to live migrate web workers? The MWW manager on the client sends a query to all nearby edge servers including the input size of the worker.

Additionally, many high-end HPC applications take advantage of knowing their in-house hardware platforms to achieve major speedup by exploiting the specific processor architecture. Cluster Compute Instances for Amazon EC2 change the HPC game for two important reasons: Access to scalable on-demand capacity. until today. At werner.ly

Often it is hidden from the consumer’s eye as it empowers applications rather than being the end game but analytics is becoming more prevalent. In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Cloud enables self-service analytics.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. This challenging situation gave rise to app stores: OS vendors understood that fast-enough-for-games needed dangerous trade-offs. AAA gaming, CAD).

More control: While performing on-premise testing, organizations have more control over configurations, setup, hardware, and software. The security and data storage infrastructure has to meet certain security compliances and standards; only then, the infrastructure is good to go for testing. All of these require a lot of capital.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version.
