If your theory about Linux's historic use means it is a better fit for modern desktop CPUs, shouldn't the same be true for memory? I don't see why Windows shoul

If your theory about Linux's historic use means it is a better fit for modern desktop CPUs, shouldn't the same be true for memory? I don't see why Windows should be better (according to the theory) as servers have also been the place of most memory intensive applications.
- marcodiego 5y agoBy memory-intensive I mean applications that have to do frequent allocations and de-allocations. This is very common on the desktop. In HPC I think the more common case is a big allocation at program start and then lots of processing to de-allocate only after the number-crunching part is finished. On servers it boils down to how quickly you can respond to network events and fire new processes.
