caxa VS microprocessor-trend-data

I'm using caxa to build my project and it does not have cross-compilation support.

https://github.com/leafac/caxa/ worked great for me, even in non-Node.js projects.

For those curious how it compares to existing solutions:

I too love how simple the infrastructure can get using Go’s tools. At the same time, I prefer Node.js for the libraries & bigger community. So I developed a tool called caxa which brings the best of both worlds, packaging any Node.js into a single binary. Check it out at https://github.com/leafac/caxa

And the creator of that graph has updated it: https://github.com/karlrupp/microprocessor-trend-data

I'm not familiar with how Battlefield servers are run, but I’m going to assume they are single-core processes. That’s what most game servers I’m familiar are, anyways. Two of the most important attributes of a CPU are its clock rate (the number of clock cycles per second, which is a measurement of how quickly one core can execute instructions) and its thread count (i.e. how many different processes can be executing on the CPU at the exact same time). Over the past decade, CPUs haven't gotten much faster in terms of clock rate. Instead, they've been optimized to add more cores, so that the CPU can do more tasks at once. This means that game servers haven’t been able to fully enjoy most of the improvements to CPU performance over the past decade. More on this here. This isn’t to say single core processes have been completely left behind – advances in instruction-level parallelism such as AVX 512 can certainly benefit game servers if they are leveraged correctly.

Hard to say it's still "exponential"...what do you think the current constant doubling period is now?

Here's the single thread raw data from that repo. If you take into account clock speed increase (which, as you agree, have plateaued) we're looking at maybe a 2x increase in instructions per clock for conventional int (not vectorized) workloads.

Is there even another 2x IPC increase possible? At any time scale?
