In response to Chuck's latest on emulated FC, the ability to lay arrays out to the nth degree etc? How many people still write assembler? Why not? Life too short? Compilers do a pretty good of optimising these days?
I think in the past, Chuck had a point…the value of this point is rapidly diminishing. Mine that vein till it runs out but it's looking a little played out now. Let's talk wide-striping, let's talk automated storage tiering, let's talk object storage, let's talk rapid provisioning but let's put that specific FUD away.
Enough of the playing the big bad, a plucky teenage girl and her gang of pals might stake you!
Hi Martin
Why I’ll agree that it’d be nice to dump hot data on arrays and never give the layout a second thought, I don’t think that’s the case today — at least, for many intensive workloads.
Tell me, is it the case that you never give data layout a second thought?
Cheers!

I do, I’d rather not have to! And the workloads I do are diminishing quickly; I think it’s going to go away as a problem.
