Thanks for the benchmarks, but I wonder what the following test results would be:

Sequential Read -- Buffered: Yes - Direct: No - Block Size:...

[coder]

For operations on O_DIRECT files, it's going to smoke blocking calls. Of course, almost nobody does that, so...

For buffered, sequential...

[coder]

Just to emphasize the last point I made, above - this doesn't change how the kernel internally manages I/O. It's for improving I/O performance of individual...

[coder]

Yes and no. Legacy aio only works with O_DIRECT, foregoing buffered I/O. uring works with buffered I/O. So, there will be some benefit, even in many cases...

[coder]

Kernel support has to be there, and then apps have to be written to actually use it.

In other words, if liburing isn't already installed,...

[coder]

Thanks for these.

I have a few questions about the units:

• Peak Integer Compute should be rated in GOPS, not GFLOPS
• Device-To-Host Ba

...

[coder]

Not true. I've personally seen drives of other makes with nonzero wear numbers.


Yes, because most filesystems don't support mid-file...

(with apologies to Tolkien) more like: "oneAPI to rule them all ... and in the darkness bind them."...

Maybe not your favorite cloud, but perhaps some public cloud platform. I don't see Amazon using these and probably not Google.


It's...

Sure, it could be applied to video, but wouldn't be as efficient as a purpose-built video codec.


As polarathene said, this doesn't...

[coder]

I think that had a lot more to do with tessellation, but perhaps less dependency on bus bandwidth also arose from less reliance on static textures and...

If you look closely, there are duallies on that truck. I think it's not me counting wheel pairs as one wheel.


No, it's a two-axle...

You can usually figure out write amplification based on the SMART stats. I recommend browsing your drive's stats using gsmartcontrol.

Such laptops would have 1080p screens or even lower. So, it's still going to be just a couple %.

It's obviously an improvement, but just...
