Hardware considerations The first thing we have to consider here is the resources that the underlying host provides to the database. Global memory caches are static in size as they are defined solely by the configuration of the database itself. Let’s take a look at each common resource.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. By listing and rating failure modes, it’s easy to see which one to focus on.

The ability of a datacenter to handle traffic changes over time as capacity is added or removed, and hardware upgraded The routing needs to be able to tolerate failures without making the situation worse. Our solver employs a local search algorithm using the “best single move” strategy. Sharing is caring caching.
