A thorough introduction to bpftrace

Brendan Gregg

It was created by Alastair Robertson, a talented UK-based developer who has previously won various coding competitions. For example, iostat(1), or a monitoring agent, may tell you your average disk latency, but not the distribution of this latency. Block I/O latency as a histogram. 1 /* 2 * biolatency.bt

Top 3 Challenges in Cross Browser Testing and How to Tackle Them

Testsigma

Maybe just changing the code according to browsers and operating systems. This kind of approach is although a victim of latency and delayed execution. No matter what kind of cloud-based tool you are using, the latency is bound to happen since there are too many requests involved in between. Challenges In Cross-Browser Testing.

bpftrace (DTrace 2.0) for Linux 2018

Brendan Gregg

Screenshot: tracing read latency for PID 181: # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:vfs_read /pid == 30153/ { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:vfs_read /@start[tid]/ { @ns = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'. Since I helped developed bpftrace, I'm aware of how fresh my own code is and how likely I introduced bugs. I wrote seeksize.d

Service Workers can save the environment!

Dean Hume

Electricity used by servers doubled between 2000 and 2005 (and has continued growing ever since) from 12 billion to 23 billion kilowatt hours. Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user.
