      Don't know such, but this is an interesting paper https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/hotos15/hotos15-paper-mcsherry.pdf … (TLDR many usecases for distributed systems are more cost-effective on better optimised single machines)

      Most of the time when people think they have “Big Data” it is something you could run on your laptop actually. Computers are very fast.

          How inefficient can your backend be to require 16000 vCPUs and 116TB of RAM for *just* 8 million users. That's 1 vCPU every 500 users and 14GBs per user https://twitter.com/th3j35t3r/status/1350612426115452935 …

          I had a dream where @Jonathan_Blow, having just finished his new game, written solely in #Verilog and available as a bare #asics only was complaining about how no one really understood silicon any more, and there were too many layers between him and the intrinsic band gap.
