Seeing through hardware counters: a journey to threefold performance increase

The Netflix TechBlog

While we understand it’s virtually impossible to achieve a linear increase in throughput as the number of vCPUs grow, a near-linear increase is attainable. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI.

10 Lessons from 10 Years of Amazon Web Services

All Things Distributed

This is a given, whether you are using the highest quality hardware or lowest cost components. When customers left the constraining, old world of IT hardware and datacenters behind, they started to develop systems with new and interesting usage patterns that no one had ever seen before. Primitives not frameworks.

Monitoring Distributed Systems

Dotcom-Montior

These systems can include physical servers, containers, virtual machines, or even a device, or node, that connects and communicates with the network. Software and hardware components are autonomous and execute tasks concurrently. This also includes latency, or the time it takes for data or a request to get through a network.
