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

reddit 'hot' algorithm, in ruby, with typo fixed
require 'date'
# Actually doesn't matter WHAT you choose as the epoch, it
# won't change the algorithm. Just don't change it after you
# have cached computed scores. Choose something before your first
# post to avoid annoying negative numbers. Choose something close
# to your first post to keep the numbers smaller. This is, I think,
# reddit's own epoch.
