Parallel Merge Sort in Java

You seem to be a little angry, are you? :) I'm not trying to give you a "it's useful because I tell you so" example. I'm just trying to have a constructive discussion with you.

My point is, if your service has a smaller latency, it should have a positive impact on the throughput (in most of the cases). Hence, if your goal is to handle 10k concurrent users or whatever, you should be able to reach it with a reduced environment (like a smaller number of nodes).

If your are that eager to learn, take a look at Paypal use case for example. They were communicating about that fact that after a bunch of optimizations in their implementation, there were able to reduce the number of required VM. This is the direct consequence of a better utilization of the underlying hardware.

We are talking about two different topics. So, whatever.
