Why OpenStack is like a Crowdfunded Viking Movie

VoltDB

It was – like the hypothetical movie I describe above – more than a little bit odd, as you could leave a session discussing ever more abstract layers of virtualization and walk into one where they emphasized the critical importance of pinning a network interface to a specific VM for optimal performance.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. Note that Ubuntu also has a frame to show entry into vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object). Colleagues/Internet I love using [Linux performance tools].

Progress Delayed Is Progress Denied

Alex Russell

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. All modern browsers are fast, Chromium and Safari/WebKit included. Converging Views.
