Latency numbers every programmer should know

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know
Latency Comparison Numbers (~2012)
----------------------------------
L1 cache reference 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict 5 ns
L2 cache reference 7 ns 14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock 25 ns
Main memory reference 100 ns 20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 3,000 ns 3 us
Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network 10,000 ns 10 us
Read 4K randomly from SSD* 150,000 ns 150 us ~1GB/sec SSD

Quick and dirty powershell script for counting lines in each file of a folder
#Quick and dirty PS script for counting lines of code in a directory. Output is dumped to a simple CSV file.
#Note that this script doesn't count blank lines.
#Parameters:
# path - the path containing the code files (note that the script will recurse through subfolders
# outputFile - fully qualified path of the file to dump the CSV output
# include (Optional) - file mask(s) to include in the count (deafults to *.*)
# exclude (Optional) - file mask(s) to exclude in the count (defaults to none)
# Example (count lines in target path including *.cs but excluding *.designer.cs)
# .\countLOC.ps1 -path "C:\code\MyProject" -outputFile "C:\code\loc.csv" -include "*.cs" -exclude "*.designer.cs"
param([string]$path, [string]$outputFile, [string]$include = "*.*", [string]$exclude = "")
