Serverless computing can be a huge benefit to organizations that don’t have the necessary resources or teams to manage physical resources, like servers/hardware, and all the maintenance and licensing that goes along with that, allowing them to focus on developing their code and applications. Monitoring. Benefits of a Serverless Model.

But with the complexity that comes with digital transformation and cloud-native architecture, teams need a way to make sure applications can withstand the “chaos” of production. Lack of end-to-end observability and monitoring into all systems a blast radius might affect is a common problem. Dynatrace news.

Now you have your JMeter metrics in Dynatrace alongside your full stack monitoring metrics captured by OneAgent: JMeter data is streamed to Dynatrace via the Metrics Ingest API. So stay tuned. The team wanted to monitor the gaming room (to detect if it is free or not) and show the status with a Dynatrace UFO on each floor.

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. that a lot of people used.

As we saw with the SOAP paper last time out, even with a fixed model variant and hardware there are a lot of different ways to map a training workload over the available hardware. Different hardware architectures (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, …) offer different performance and cost trade-offs.

A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. If tuned for performance, there is a good change reliability is compromised - and vice versa. In some cases, this can be enhanced by combining data virtualization techniques with microservices architecture.

This can make it difficult to draw sound performance-tuning conclusions. This uses hardware, typically a crystal oscillator, that produces ticks at a very high constant rate regardless of processor speed, power settings, or anything of that nature. SQL Server uses the high-precision QueryPerformanceCounter API to capture timing data.

Hardware performance counter results for a simple benchmark code calling Intel’s optimized DGEMM implementation for this processor (from the Intel MKL library) show that about 20% of the dynamic instruction count consists of instructions that are not packed SIMD operations (i.e., addl $1, %eax vfmadd213pd %zmm16, %zmm17, %zmm29.
