The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! Note that Ubuntu also has a frame to show entry into vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object). A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption.

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

AMD EPYC Processors in Azure Virtual Machines

SQL Performance

Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. These AMD EPYC processors have a number of advantages for SQL Server workloads, as I will explain in this article. Since then, Microsoft has changed the naming of this series to Lsv2.
