It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. These factors meant that often when looking for database performance information, the results for a particular combination of software and hardware were not available. What is HammerDB? Why HammerDB was developed.

The goal is to produce a low-energy hardware classifier for embedded applications doing local processing of sensor data. Race logic has four primary operations that are easy to implement in hardware: MAX, MIN, ADD-CONSTANT, and INHIBIT. One efficient way of doing that in analog hardware is the use of current-starved inverters.

I wrote a page on it: [perf]. - **eBPF**: tracing features completed in 2016, this provides efficient programmatic tracing to existing kernel frameworks. Oracle have a similar useful page as well: the Linux to Oracle Solaris 11 comparison, as well as a [procedure] for migrating from Solaris to Linux. It's the official profiler.
