Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or your favorite query editor to connect to a SQL Server 2012 or 2014 instance. On the same hardware/machine repeat steps 1 thru 3 using an instance of SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.0 Note: You may need to execute the dbcc a second time so buffer cache is hot, eliminating I/O sub-system variants.

SQL Server According to Bob

NOVEMBER 29, 2016

Your NUMA system may not have different processor groups for each node. Here is another example from another two node system I have with one processor group. This is a two node system with 6 cores per node (with HT 12 logical CPUs per node). Why did SQL Server take this 4 node system and now split into 16 nodes?

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system.

I always check backups first when looking at a new system. Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes.

More than a decade ago, Amazon embarked on a mission to build a distributed system that challenged conventional methods of data storage and querying. In 2012, we launched Amazon DynamoDB, the successor to Amazon Dynamo. Let’s now look at the history behind the service and the context for new innovations that make me think that.

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. 2012 will see us continue to build out multicore with mainstream quad- and eight-core tablets (as Windows 8 brings a modern tablet experience to x86 as well as ARM), and the last single-core gaming console holdout will go multicore (as Nintendo’s Wii U replaces Wii).
