Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. But I'm not completely sure.

Modern network performance and availability. India has been the epicentre of smartphone growth in recent years, owing to the sheer size of its market and an accelerating shift away from feature phones which made up the majority of Indian mobile devices until as late as 2019.

Testing shows that by using the Fua bit with the data, write request can reduce the I/O traffic by ~50% for a SQL Server, write-intensive workload. The repeated use of a write request followed by a flush request may be detrimental to performance and will increase traffic on the I/O bus. Starting with the Linux 4.18 4 Socket, TPCC.

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.
