For the more adventurous/technical, the top (table of processes) command provides similar metrics on most Unix-like operating systems such as macOS and Ubuntu. Sustainable Web Design. There are some existing works we can draw on to help us here.

Variations within these storage systems are called distributed file systems. Their design emphasizes increasing availability by spreading out files among different nodes or servers — this approach significantly reduces risks associated with losing or corrupting data due to node failure.

Lastly, the packager kicks in, adding a system layer to the asset, making it ready to be consumed by the clients.

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. Operating System (OS) settings Swappiness Swappiness is a Linux kernel setting that influences the behavior of the Virtual Memory manager when it needs to allocate a swap, ranging from 0-100.

HammerDB has graphical and command line interfaces for the Windows and Linux operating systems. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Cached vs Scaled Workloads. Instead, most users prefer to implement a cached workload.

For example, the IMDG must be able to efficiently create millions of objects in each server to make use of its huge storage capacity. Given all this, we thought it would be a good opportunity to see how we are doing relative to the competition, and in particular, relative to Microsoft’s AppFabric caching for Windows on-premise servers.

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

GAIA proposed to expand the OS page cache into accelerator memory. The OS page cache serves as a cache for file accesses and plays an important role in core OS services, such as memory-mapped files. GAIA’s extension of the OS page into GPU memory enabled access to memory-mapped files from GPU kernels.
