You asked for it, so here it is.
Visualizing CPU cache speeds relative to RAM.
Cache optimization is important too! https://t.co/sg8rmKQ3D8

''What every programmer should know about memory'' by Ulrich Drepper from Red Hat is still a great primer on memory utilization. https://t.co/IfW8jwJAtb
In the early days computers were much simpler. The var-ious components of a system, such as the CPU, memory, mass storage, and network interfaces, were developed to-gether and, as a result, were quite balanced in their per-formance. For example, the memory and network inter-faces were not (much) faster than the CPU at providing data
