CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment Davis et al., And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes. Most programs (almost 800 C programs in the FreeBSD source tree) require no modifications.

PostgreSQL performance optimization is an ongoing process involving monitoring, benchmarking, and adjustments to maintain high-performing PostgreSQL databases. The PostgreSQL buffer is called shared_buffer, which is the most effective tunable parameter for most operating systems. Why is PostgreSQL performance tuning important?

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

The PostgreSQL buffer is called shared_buffer which is the most effective tunable parameter for most operating systems. It’s low because certain machines and operating systems do not support higher values. Plus another recent post on benchmarks: Tuning PostgreSQL for sysbench-tpcc. wal_buffers. Related posts.
