The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.” In its pursuit, IT teams hover over system performance dashboards hoping their preparations will deliver five nines—or even four nines—availability. How can IT teams deliver system availability under peak loads that will satisfy customers?

on Myths and Legends of High Performance Computing — it’s a somewhat light-hearted look at some of the same issues by the leader of the team that built the Fugaku system I mention below. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0 HPCG is led by Japan’s RIKEN Fugaku system at 16 petaflops, which is 3% of it’s peak capacity.

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems Gan et al., Systems built with lots of microservices have different operational characteristics to those built from a small number of monoliths, we’d like to study and better understand those differences.

For most high-end processors these values have remained in the range of 75% to 85% of the peak DRAM bandwidth of the system over the past 15-20 years — an amazing accomplishment given the increase in core count (with its associated cache coherence issues), number of DRAM channels, and ever-increasing pipelining of the DRAMs themselves.

If you don’t have insight into the software and services that operate your business, you can’t efficiently run your business. This shift requires infrastructure monitoring to ensure all your components work together across applications, operating systems, storage, servers, virtualization, and more.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).
