A performance comparison of multimicro and mainframe database architectures
P. Heidelberger,M.S. Lakshmi +1 more
TL;DR: The performance of a hypothetical multiprocessor back-end database machine is compared to that of a mainframe database system and Analytic queueing models of the two architectures are constructed and used in parametric performance studies.

Retrospective Study of Performance and Power Consumption of Computer Systems
Hisanobu Tomari,Kei Hiraki +1 more
TL;DR: This is the first paper reporting the performance and power consumption of systems over twenty years, using a uniform method, and it is predicted that the Dhrystone/power ratio will reach 2, 963 VAX MIPS/Watt in 2018, when exaflops machines are expected to appear.
