I'm very interested in this 6-page memo, I also found during my PhD that writing can really help clarify thinking. You may think you have a very clear idea in your mind but then wh…

Nothing was dialed back. My previous post just confirmed that our elasticache was not misconfigured. I used the latest github memcached with 14 worker threads as you suggested and …

Thanks for the details on how to use your benchmark script and for taking the time to investigate this. I hadn’t heard of your benchmark before and mc-crusher seems to work a bit d…

I'm still seeing similar results (~1M req/sec) after compiling your latest version of memcached from github and running with 16 worker threads. I just spun up two r4.4xlarge instan…

Our assumption was that elasticache would be highly optimized by Amazon. Remember that these are virtual machines which means limitations such as packet per second throttling. What…

Do you have a source showing elasticache running faster than this? For example, Redis labs was only able to achieve 10M req/sec by using 6 m4.16xlarge instances which are double th…

Sounds interesting, are there any papers or public details that you could point me to with more technical information about this Alibaba RDMA-based memcached project? Alibaba also …

Although there are Ethernet transceivers on the AWS FPGAs (these are Xilinx UltraScale+ VU9P FPGAs) they are unused and not connected directly to the AWS network. Instead the FPGAs…

I wouldn't characterize Elasticache as running slow, a single instance in this case is handling 1.3M request/sec. But we can be 9X faster by batching multiple requests per packet a…

Interesting, what synthesis settings have you found have the most impact? I have also seen FPGA designers trying different seeds when closing timing. In this case, AWS provides an …

Our startup is working on accelerators using FPGAs on AWS including memcached. Using a single AWS F1 (FPGA) instance, our Memcached accelerator achieves over 11 million ops/sec at …

If anyone is curious how the code actually works, I've commented up a version below: function matrix() { // initialize variables for (s = window.screen, w = q.width = s.width, // o…

Any recommendations for keeping track of email support requests? I'm getting beyond the point where I can just reply straight from gmail. Ideally something I can just self host to …

Great idea! I would love a valentines day bootstrap theme.

It's actually very easy to hack the code. I've created a "God-mode" version that you can play on github: http://acanis.github.com/Minicraft-God-Mode/

Try this version on github, you can compile and run the source with 'ant run': https://github.com/skeeto/Minicraft

Whenever I hear doomsayers like this I try to remember Warren Buffett's advice, "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful."

This technology has the potential to save so many lives. Does anyone know how much these cars cost? I would expect the radar system and servers to be pretty expensive. Presumably t…

This is really good to know. I always seem to come up with ideas that have already been done. But it's possible my new approach would be better than the competition, like TweetingM…
