Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. It can achieve impressive performance, handling up to 50 million operations per second.

This metric is interesting because we don’t always have the luxury of parallelizing every application we run, and our operating systems almost always process each call (e.g., Multicore processors have huge amounts of available DRAM bandwidth – maybe it does not even make sense for a single core to try to use that much?

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems Gan et al., It’s a pretty impressive effort to pull together and make available in open source (not yet available as I write this) such a suite, and I’m sure explains much of the long list of 24 authors on this paper.

Various forms can take shape when discussing workloads within the realm of cloud computing environments – examples include order management databases, collaboration tools, videoconferencing systems, virtual desktops, and disaster recovery mechanisms. Storage is a critical aspect to consider when working with cloud workloads.

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. HPCG is led by Japan’s RIKEN Fugaku system at 16 petaflops, which is 3% of it’s peak capacity. petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.

Nowadays, solid-state drives (SSDs) or non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives are preferred over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) for database servers due to their faster read and write speeds, lower latency, and improved reliability. Operating system Linux is the most common operating system for high-performance MySQL servers.

All of the SPECfp_rate2000 results were downloaded from www.spec.org, the results were sorted by processor type, and “peak floating-point operations per cycle” was manually added for each processor type. This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.
