| 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 | |
| Read 1 MB sequentially from memory 250,000 ns 250 us | |
| Round trip within same datacenter 500,000 ns 500 us | |
| Read 1 MB sequentially from SSD* 1,000,000 ns 1,000 us 1 ms ~1GB/sec SSD, 4X memory | |
| Disk seek 10,000,000 ns 10,000 us 10 ms 20x datacenter roundtrip | |
| Read 1 MB sequentially from disk 20,000,000 ns 20,000 us 20 ms 80x memory, 20X SSD | |
| Send packet CA->Netherlands->CA 150,000,000 ns 150,000 us 150 ms | |
| Notes | |
| ----- | |
| 1 ns = 10^-9 seconds | |
| 1 us = 10^-6 seconds = 1,000 ns | |
| 1 ms = 10^-3 seconds = 1,000 us = 1,000,000 ns | |
