Let’s recap some of what we have learned so far. We know that the CPU, GPU, and graphics bus, are trouble resources causing us to not reach our true performance. We also learned that detecting exactly where the best optimization for our application lies is half of the battle.

In this reading, we are going to discuss hardware at a greater detail. Understanding the hardware is essential to solving CPU and GPU hotspots and bottlenecks.

One resource that I will not cover in this reading is the memory architecture. Understanding your memory architecture is an extremely important part of optimizing your CPU. In fact, it’s so important that I am going to cover it in its own reading.
