Characteristic Throughput (BW)

General Purpose CPU Low

Custom ASIC / NPU High (10x)

Performance (pps)
Power efficiency (Gbps/W) Integration Effort Flexibility System development cost & time

Low

High (10x)
High High Low/Medium High

Use x86 (General CPU) for control, signalling and high touch, low BW applications where cost, flexibility and fast development are required Use Custom ASIC/NPU implementations for high BW, high performance processing where algorithms are well defined/known

Rules of Thumb
Downside 20% increase in required processing
Data Centre Technology Rules of Thumb

Upside
Moores Law Processing doubles every 36 months Neilsens Law b/w increases by 50% annually Butters Law - cost per optical bit decreases by 50% every 9 months

Relative Increase/unit

Months

BUT we need to pay attention to

Wirths law
S/W gets slower more rapidly than H/W becomes faster

So, yes, it is sustainable ... but you have to really think about it

What is the relationship of interests?

You hear things like: Your apps are you And then there are statistics like this ...
48% of users would be less likely to use the app again if its performance is bad 84% of users say app store rating are important in their download and install decisions 78 % of users expect mobile apps to load as fast as, or faster than, a mobile website

Cloud is equal parts Services/Applications are independent of hardware. Capacity management through self-service resource provisioning.

Practice

Software

Technology

Data Centers dont change much, they just become highly standardized. Hardware capacity is managed independent of service capacity.

Platform (Utility)

Convention

Standard building blocks drive operational efficiency. Commonality enables automation.

... It is the blank score on which things are created
