My last talk for 2017 was at AWS re:Invent, on "How Netflix Tunes EC2 Instances for Performance," an updated version of my [2014] talk. Our team looks after the BaseAMI, kernel tuning, OS performance tools and profilers, and self-service tools like Vector. Not a lot has changed with these tunables since my [2014] talk.

For SQL Server 2008R – 2014, you could lower this threshold using trace flag 2371. There are exceptions to every rule or best practice. If you are on SQL Server 2008 – SQL Server 2014, for a single NUMA node with less than 8 logical processors, keep MAXDOP at or below the number of logical processors.

JULY 25, 2023

To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. This choice also inspired me to call my project Swift Papers.
