The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()?

Seamless offloading of web app computations from mobile device to edge clouds via HTML5 Web Worker migration

The Morning Paper

Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. These use their regression models to estimate processing time (which will depend on the hardware available, current load, etc.). Why would we want to live migrate web workers? The opencv app has the largest state (4.6

Mobile browser testing – what is it and when is it done?

Testsigma

Each smartphone comes with various screen sizes and resolutions, operates on different network speeds, and has different hardware capabilities. Test how user-friendly an application is: Google search engine gives high priority to websites in comparison to desktop apps. Google ranks applications based on how user friendly it is.

Linux Load Averages: Solving the Mystery

Brendan Gregg

Anyway, the following patch seems to make the load average much more consistent WRT the subjective speed of the system. They are demand on the system, albeit for software resources rather than hardware resources. ## Decomposing Linux load averages Can the Linux load average value be fully decomposed into components? Yes, I'd say so.

Front-End Performance Checklist 2021

Smashing Magazine

You need a business stakeholder buy-in, and to get it, you need to establish a case study, or a proof of concept using the Performance API on how speed benefits metrics and Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) they care about. Note : If you use Page Speed Insights or Page Speed Insights API (no, it isn’t deprecated!),
