Log monitoring, log analysis, and log analytics are more important than ever as organizations adopt more cloud-native technologies, containers, and microservices-based architectures. A log is a detailed, timestamped record of an event generated by an operating system, computing environment, application, server, or network device.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. We want to extend the system to support CPU oversubscription. can we actually make this work in practice?
