Virtual consensus in Delos , Balakrishnan et al. Back in 2017 the engineering team at Facebook had a problem. While ultimately this new system should be able to take advantage of the latest advances in consensus for improved performance, that’s not realistic given a 6-9 month in-production target.

These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here. A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption. How would you _time_ time?

Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. The AMD EPYC 7551 processor has slightly lower single-threaded CPU performance when compared to the older 2.3 Figure 1: CPU-Z Benchmark Results for LS16v2.

We’re talking about a few hundred milliseconds, but this can have a considerable performance impact when cold starts occur too often. The virtual CPU is turned off.
