Deprecated features to take out of your toolbox – Part 1

SQL Performance

The system table sys.sysprocesses was replaced way back in SQL Server 2005 by a set of dynamic management views (DMVs), most notably sys.dm_exec_requests , sys.dm_exec_sessions , and sys.dm_exec_connections. Recently one of our teams was investigating a log reader latency issue. dm_os_performance_counters.

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. Show me the money! Conclusion.

The Surprising Effectiveness of Non-Overlapping, Sensitivity-Based Performance Models

John McCalpin

This was a keynote presentation at the “2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling: Methods and Applications” (PMMA16), June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany (in conjunction with ISC16 ). This system would be considered a “high-memory-bandwidth” system at the time these results were collected.

Observability platform vs. observability tools

Dynatrace

With observability, teams can understand what part of a system is performing poorly and how to correct the problem. Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. Traces provide performance data about tasks that are performed by invoking a series of services.
