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

HammerDB

To benchmark a database we introduce the concept of a Virtual User. Of course, you can prepare individual statements, however you can see major efficiency gains by using natively compiled stored procedures. For this reason we need to implement our database sessions in the form of operating system threads. The Python GIL.

A persistent problem: managing pointers in NVM

The Morning Paper

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. Traditional pointers address a memory location (often virtual of course). What about security?

Segmentation Fault – A DBA Perspective

Percona

In order to overcome these issues, the concept of paging and segmentation was introduced, where physical address space and virtual address space were designed. Here, virtual(logical) to physical address translation is much easier as segment tables store adequate information. A detailed description of these concepts is below.

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

The Morning Paper

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 ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.

12 different types of mobile testing with real-life examples

Testsigma

Mobiles have different models, screen resolutions, operating systems, network types, hardware configurations, etc. Also, how to test the hardware of the mobile phone itself, is it supporting all the software as it should? Let us have a look at the most popular types of mobile testing for applications and hardware.

halt (); Some sort of very early exception handler; better to sit busy in an infinite loop than run off and destroy hardware or corrupt data, I suppose. Jann Horn gets back to me first: Can you use QEMU to look at the hardware frame (which contains values pushed by the hardware in response to the page fault) in early_idt_handler_common?
