Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. The client MWW combines these estimates with an estimate of the input/output transmission time (latency) to find the worker with the minimum overall execution latency.

Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching. Four years ago, as part of our AWS fast data journey, we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed, in-memory data store that operates at microsecond latency.

In recent years GPU development that was originally funded by the gaming market (and ended up being used as a supercomputer accelerator) has been dominated by use in the AI/ML accelerator market. Many HPC workloads synchronize work on a barrier, and work much better if there’s a consistently narrow latency distribution without a long tail.
