The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

Part 2 looks at the tradeoffs between program and data cache optimizations, and shows how to choose the best compromise. As we saw in the first two parts of this series, cache optimization is often ...

Google has published TurboQuant, a KV cache compression algorithm that cuts LLM memory usage by 6x with zero accuracy loss, ...

At 100 billion lookups/year, a server tied to Elasticache would spend more than 390 days of time in wasted cache time. Cachee reduces that to 48 minutes. Everyone pays for faster internet. For ...

Part 1 shows how to increase performance through code partitioning, function inlining, and other techniques. Part 3 shows how to optimize code by modifying the placement of functions in memory. The ...

Java compilers take center stage in this second article in the JVM performance optimization series. Eva Andreasson introduces the different breeds of compiler and compares performance results from ...
