Hi, I'm looking for some documents that state the comparison between
processing cost (I/O cost and CPU cost) and communication cost of the
recent computing systems. I'd prefer to have the materials in the
forms of research papers, research surveys and trusted resources that
can be cited.

I found some numbers in the distributed database textbook but since
the textbook was published in 1999, i believe these numbers are no
longer accurate.

Could anyone point me to some resources? Thanks in advance!

In the following paper (2006 ?), the autors talk about a 1/20 ratio for
WAN and 1/1.6 ratio for LAN. But unfortunalely there is not so much
details on how they got those numbers...

Thanks, Hugo. I also found this material. This is exactly what i'm
looking for. But I realized that this material was prepared based on
the distributed database textbook for this course and the textbook is
published in 1999 so I believe these numbers should no longer be
accurate.
