CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment

The Morning Paper

CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment Davis et al., Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). ASPLOS’19. We answer this question affirmatively.

Segmentation Fault – A DBA Perspective

Percona

In order to understand “segmentation fault,” it is a must to know the basic idea of segmentation and its implementation in C programming. When we need to execute any program, it should be loaded into memory first. Here, memory is divided into equal sizes of partitions where the code of a program resides.

Platform Engineering Teams Done Right…

Adrian Cockcroft

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. Talking through the map, we start with an end user who can choose a web app or a mobile app.

Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

We were able to meaningfully improve both the predictability and performance of these containers by taking some of the CPU isolation responsibility away from the operating system and moving towards a data driven solution involving combinatorial optimization and machine learning.

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy

The Morning Paper

These techniques work well for scientific programs that are dominated by arrays. However, they are ineffective on object-based programs because objects do not fall neatly into fixed-size blocks and have a more irregular layout. If we compress objects instead of cache lines though, we can get to a 56% compression ratio (c).

What programming languages does HammerDB use and why does it matter?

HammerDB

This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset. For HammerDB both TPROC-C and TPROC-H run all of their workloads on the database being tested in SQL. The following is an example from TPROC-C from SQL Server. Database interfaces in C. and the following from TPROC-H. select top 100.
