Modern software is massively inefficient. Modern CPUs typically run poorly optimized code, which consumes more power than it could have consumed and contributes to carbon emissions and other environmental issues. Inefficient software cuts companies' margins and decreases market evaluation. For many years performance engineering was a nerdy niche, but now it's becoming mainstrea...(展开全部)

We live in an increasingly data-centric world, where we generate enormous amounts of data each day. The growth of information exchange fuels the need for both faster software and faster hardware. Unfortunately, modern CPUs are not enjoying big improvements in single-core performance as they used to in the past decades. That's why performance tuning is becoming more important th...(展开全部)
