The primes one is my least favourite one indeed, I left it in just because I happened to include it in the very first version and I am thinking it just counts for 5% in the end... …

It came up recently in a post I did about how bad Geekbench 6 multi-core is, and some are saying they still use it for single-thread as it correlates well with SPEC. I thought I'd …

They warn they will reclaim. I had two accounts, one processing data for a free weather service I volunteer for, so it's not idle and has had no issues for a couple of years now. T…

I had a bit of a hard time when I first signed up. It turns out the problem was I had included "oracle" in my email (I give a different email on my domain to every provider), so so…

I meant pretty much anything Oracle... except their free/cheap VMs :)

The testing was from mid-September to mid-January, Turin was released on Azure end of January. They simply did not make the cut, unfortunately I could not wait forever for them, th…

Huh, I have not been able to provision any newer CPUs after dozens of tests, certainly not Emerald Rapids. And that blog post is weird, their charts don't even have a key shown, it…

May I suggest the one I use (I wrote it), which also correlates well with SPEC & Geekbench 5, but also runs the benchmarks on all cores if you want to so you get both max single-th…

Yeah, that's the main reason. Not sure why the ban, medium etc are much worse... The second reason is I've never had a slashdot submission accepted and I saw that after posting thi…

There's a table of contents near the top. Use it to jump to the performance per dollar.

A 16-core 4565p is of course faster in max single thread speed than a 96-core that GCP is running at an economically optimal base clock. A year ago I gave a talk about optimizing C…

Going to the cloud can't possibly be as cheap as owning your own hardware for obvious reasons - they have to make money somehow. Well, unless you use spot instances, which uses spa…

I wrote the article. I would NEVER tell anyone to use Oracle, as the vendor lock in and strong-arming and pricing is ridiculous. That said, I am hosting small projects on Oracle Cl…

From your post I can tell you did not read the "year-old blog post". It starts with the scaling, but goes further and explains a lot. I am a software engineer specializing in algor…

Not sure you opened the blog post. The scaling is atrocious, even for tasks that should be extremely parallelizable. The Geekbench "Text Processing" benchmark supposedly processes …

Yeah, I also get confused with references. I was annoyed from the start, when "Mojo" was announced as a Python family language. Mojolicious uses the "Mojo" namespace and is referre…
