2008 Hardware Performance Virtualization

It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance.

At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading. This talk originated from my updates to [Systems Performance 2nd Edition], and this was the first time I've given this talk in person! Or even on a plane.

What I find is very similar to backups: No DBCC CHECKDBs performed at all DBCC CHECKDBs being performed only on select databases DBCC CHECKDBs last performed months or years ago. Performing index maintenance by removing fragmentation from your indexes is still important. Index Maintenance.

Nowadays, there are three built-in tracers that you should know about: - **ftrace**: since 2008, this serves many tracing needs, and has been enhanced recently with hist triggers for custom histograms. As a performance engineer who does kernel tracing, I find the lack of an ID I can trace in the kernel to be pretty annoying.

It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). Single-threaded CPU performance is the one relative weak point of the AMD EPYC 7742 processor. Better security , with Secure Memory Encryption and Secure Encrypted Virtualization.
