Amazon is also making some very impressive benchmark comparisons against its fifth-generation instances, supporting Intel Xeon Platinum 8175 processor of up to 2.5GHz:
All of these performance enhancements come together to give these new instances a significant performance benefit over the 5th generation (M5, C5, R5) of EC2 instances. Our initial benchmarks show the following per-vCPU performance improvements over the M5 instances:
- SPECjvm® 2008: +43% (estimated)
- SPEC CPU® 2017 integer: +44% (estimated)
- SPEC CPU 2017 floating point: +24% (estimated)
- HTTPS load balancing with Nginx: +24%
- Memcached: +43% performance, at lower latency
- X.264 video encoding: +26%
- EDA simulation with Cadence Xcellium: +54%I've recently had to send a few faxes to the IRS and couldn't find a good fax service that is pay per use. So out of frustration, I made a website for simple faxing using Typescript, React, and Apollo. This took about a month to build, with the slowest part being Paypal handling.
Feedback is much appreciated :)
I've made a website for generating sed scripts with Rust and Typescript+React. Built this in a week to learn Rust with GraphQL and Diesel, and a bit of front end with React. Feedback is much appreciated.
