5.5 mm in 1.25 nanoseconds

Randon ASCII

That meant I started having regular meetings with the hardware engineers who were working with IBM on the CPU which gave me even more expertise on this CPU, which was critical in helping me discover a design flaw in one of its instructions , and in helping game developers master this finicky beast. I wrote a lot of benchmarks.

Hardware Optimizers” want to get the maximum utilization out of hardware. These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out. Latency Optimizers” – need support for very large federated deployments.

Seer: leveraging big data to navigate the complexity of performance debugging in cloud microservices

The Morning Paper

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. on end-to-end latency) and less than 0.15% on throughput.

Kubernetes for Big Data Workloads

Abhishek Tiwari

faster development and deployment cycles. The good news is all of these challenges including performance can be tackled and in several cases, there are new developments to overcome them. To address this, the open source community is now trying to develop Kubernetes custom schedulers specifically optimised for big data workloads.

How to maximize CPU performance for PostgreSQL 12.0 benchmarks on Linux

HammerDB

HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. ” Usually when benchmark results are surprising it is a major hint that something could be misconfigured and that certainly seems the case here, so what could it be?
