I'm just looking for more depth. Like, is that all loaded in 1 load operation when the page is touched and is therefore optimal? Does disk access / writing dirty pages not matter?
- menaerus 2y agoNo, 64K is definitely not loaded in 1 load operation. Maximum amount of load operations modern CPUs can do is 2x512-bit or 128 bytes per cycle or around ~600 GB of L1 bandwidth. That said, there is no universal page size one can choose from. Some workloads will benefit from smaller page size while others will benefit from larger page size but 512K is not the size you will want to choose. Read-, write-, space-amplification, CPU cache thrashing etc.
