"Performance (Really) Matters" with Emery Berger
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Emery Berger argues that performance is hard to measure and deliver on modern systems, showing how code layout and link order can swamp optimization effects. He presents tools that evaluate performance more reliably.
HN points to it whenever benchmarking pitfalls and layout effects come up, as an eye-opening talk on how unreliable naive measurements are.
