There are numerous things related to technology that must be in place if you are to have any success in creating what you want now and into the future. So Jps the common details are considerably important. Thats because there are minimums, after all. And if those minimums aren’t adhered to, the outcome will be less than optimal.
The interesting thing about such a statement, is that it is true today just as it was 40 years ago. Sure, there are subtle changes, like multi level cache, faster processors, and specialized interfaces, that help speed things up. But the focus is still the same, get the data in as fast as possible, allowing the processor to run at hyperspeed, so outputs can scream out on various interfaces. It really is the exact same layout over and over again..
But what enables all of that today is truly a whole different story; Thats why JPS The Common is very important for you to understand.
So as you consider a path to get the best options, here are numerous things to consider:
- The heart of any system is obvious: the processor or group of processors is what determines the speed of the system. And yes, multiple processors are a critical component and heavily used in Database Systems and many high end Corporate environments. Overkill is very common in this area, so the system doesn’t hit the wall and die. But overkill can be very expensive.
- So what is considered overkill? Faster processors than are needed. More processors than what applications can use. (Ex. multiple cores available for a single core application). Maybe more memory than what is required.
- SSD’s are all the rage these days and they have gotten dirt cheap. Having indicated that there are some exposures. SSD’s are basically loaded Solid-State Memory, sitting on the bus ready for data to be requested. You don’t have to wait for Hard Drive latency (data under the read/write arm). The data can be available instantly without delay, but the bus is the exposure. If the bus isn’t fast enough or other things are clogging it up and pulling it down, you won’t see much difference.
- Is the above a possibility? Sure, a perfect example is plugging in an SSD into an older system where both the bus and I/O is much slower than todays standards. This is very common and happens alot. You are likely not to see any difference at all. Why? Comes back to the design. Older designs were paired with hard drives, not solid state devices. Data being instantly available was not an option.
This all may seem very simple on the outside but getting there can be a real battle;
- It really can be more complicated than it appears because what is connected to the processor can have a positive or negative effect. If the system processor cannot handle the load on the outbound or inbound side, then delays and bottlenecks are created, which will slow down everything.
- Can the System processor keep up with the I/O processor or any attached processor to the bus; ie GPU, Card processor, AI processor, DataBase Processor, etc.? This becomes a critical question and can be a make-or-break consideration.
- You never want the system processor to have to wait. Thats called an externally imposed bottleneck. One can create this at build time, and not even realize it, and that’s how it gets built into the system.
- I’ve seen just the opposite happen as well, where the CPU gets overloaded, but how can that happen?
- Here is a perfect example of what I mean; Graphics cards are all the rage these days because of gaming. About 95% have high end Graphics Processing Units (GPU) built into the adapter. So what happens if the GPU is faster than the System CPU and it doesn’t respond fast enough? Bad things happen quickly, and the System CPU gets overrun, not being able to catch up. The result is not a great situation, causing many lags and delays across the system.
- In the past this was called Queue Depth and the max amount was 120%. What does that mean? After all, The fastest the processor can go is 100%, but you could also have, say, 20 tasks queued beyond full saturation. And it just means that those 20 tasks have the highest priority in the system because they must be executed first. But the down side is that every other task waits until those 20 are done. Even the ones that were already running are swapped out and held back. Not the best situation, and it always causes delays.
- Queue depth beyond 100% is not desirable today, so it is better to match components in the system to make sure it doesn’t happen.
So what does this all mean;
- Firstly; you must decide if you are going to take the risk and build it yourself? Knowing that there are many gotchas lurking in the shadows that you are unlikely to see.
- Secondly; you can decide to farm it out so you can be sure that all the bases are covered.
- Thirdly; if farming it out is your preference, that can be a good consideration as long as you don’t select one of the Tom Dick and Harry PC companies that don’t always have your best interests at heart.
- Fourthly; Consultants can help to get you what you want, but that may not be the best alternative, as the cost of doing so may be prohibitive.
- Lastly; I can help you get there, by recommending a path once I know what you are looking for. Even building it for you is possible, as I have built thousands over the years for companies and individuals alike.
