The behavior of the Windows scheduler changed significantly in Windows 10 2004, in a way that will break a few applications, and there appears to have been no announcement, and the documentation has not been updated. First, a bit of operating-system design context. Timer interrupts and their raison d’être. That’s crazy!

File systems unfit as distributed storage backends: lessons from 10 years of Ceph evolution Aghayev et al., In this case, the assumption that a distributed storage backend should clearly be layered on top of a local file system. A distributed file system provides a unified view over aggregated storage from multiple physical machines.

(Note that “no side effects on normal execution” is always automatically true for violation handlers even when an assertion system such as proposed in [4] allows arbitrary custom violation handlers to be installed, because those are executed only if we discover that we’re in a corrupted state and so are already outside of normal execution.

Photo by Adrian I spent six years at Cambridge Consultants, building some interesting systems, managing our Sun workstations and learning a lot, but by then Sun had opened a sales office across the street, and I wanted to find out what they were going to release next, before everyone else.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. I realized that in 2004, before my Amazon days, I already wrote a blog post about the fundamental publications in the area of epidemics, so this seems like a good moment to revisit that with updated links, etc. reliable and scalable distributed systems.

Created by Alastair Robertson , bpftrace is an open source high-level tracing front-end that lets you analyze systems in custom ways. eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is in the Linux kernel and is the new hotness in systems engineering. in 2004, so I have to think back to that time to understand it.
