Model architecture

Q: How deeply does Fast Python: High performance techniques for large datasets cover model architecture?

Surveys CPU, memory, storage, and networking implications for Python performance, while narrowing its focus to directly relevant problems.

As explained in Fast Python: High performance techniques for large datasets

The structural organization of a computational system’s components, relationships, and operations that determines how it processes information or behaves.

System architecture for data processing spans CPU, memory, local storage, and networks. Improving performance means considering architecture and implementation, rather than assuming that adding servers is the answer. section 1.1 section 6.1

Changes in data scale can force changes to the system:

A single-computer solution may require multiple machines, workload distribution, and correct data partitioning as demand grows. section 1.1
Data that no longer fits in memory may need to move to disk, often requiring a substantial code rewrite. section 1.1
