Latency Comparison Numbers | |
-------------------------- | |
L1 cache reference 0.5 ns 32 Kb for data, 32kb for code on Inte (per core) | |
Branch mispredict 5 ns | |
L2 cache reference 7 ns 14x L1 cache 256 Kb on Intel (per core) | |
L3 cache reference 15 ns 4-30 Mb on Intel (6Mb on i5 5470), shared between all cores | |
Mutex lock/unlock 25 ns | |
Main memory reference 100 ns 20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache | |
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 3,000 ns | |
Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network 10,000 ns 0.01 ms | |
Read 4K randomly from SSD* 150,000 ns 0.15 ms | |
Read 1 MB sequentially from memory 250,000 ns 0.25 ms | |
Round trip within same datacenter 500,000 ns 0.5 ms | |
Read 1 MB sequentially from SSD* 1,000,000 ns 1 ms 4X memory | |
Disk seek 10,000,000 ns 10 ms 20x datacenter roundtrip | |
Read 1 MB sequentially from disk 20,000,000 ns 20 ms 80x memory, 20X SSD | |
Send packet CA->Netherlands->CA 150,000,000 ns 150 ms | |
Notes | |
----- | |
1 ns = 10-9 seconds | |
1 ms = 10-3 seconds | |
* Assuming ~1GB/sec SSD | |
