It looks like from 2006-2018 the only things that have improved are disk read speeds and the "commodity network" packet speed. Most of this chart is unchanged over that time. Has progress on CPUs, memory, processing speed really stopped over the last 12 years?
- exDM69 8y agoIt measures latency, not throughput. CPU or memory latency has not improved a lot, but throughput has through increased core count and instruction level parallelism. If you look at throughput per watt, the improvement is greater.
- bostonpete 8y agoI assume the "send 2000 bytes over a commodity network" is measuring throughput rather than latency. If not, I really don't understand what it's describing...
- gpderetta 8y agoIt is litterally the lenght of a 2000*8 bit backet in a serial link, in ns. The number seems way off unless my math is wrong or 200Gb ethernet counts as commodity today.
