There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Another problem is that a design control, intended to mitigate a failure mode, may not work as intended. STPA is based on a functional control diagram of the system, and the safety constraints and requirements for each component in the design.

(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. Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. These trade-offs have even impacted the way the lowest level building blocks in our computer architectures have been designed. The throughput of this pipeline is more important than the latency of the individual operations.

With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. It’s inherently tied to everything we build and develop. I’m going to update my referenced URL to the new site to help decrease latency that adds drag to the initial page load. Improvement #3: Unblock parsing.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. Using the minimum number of accumulator registers needed to tolerate the pipeline latency (12), the assembly code for the inner loop is: B1.8:

The most common programming task that a typical software developer has to deal with is: receiving input, transforming it, and producing output. One of the key realizations one develops when integrating components of unequal capacities is that flow control is not optional, but mandatory. Let’s dive into this concept for a bit.

2 In general, IT has structural and social deficiencies that conspire against development of a management capability. clever at design, at problem solving, and so forth) people who don’t respond to that style of management. 5 Consider how many layers a team, or even an individual developer, may be removed from a large IT programme.

Mounting object storage in Netflix’s media processing platform By Barak Alon (on behalf of Netflix’s Media Cloud Engineering team) MezzFS (short for “Mezzanine File System”) is a tool we’ve developed at Netflix that mounts cloud objects as local files via FUSE. What problem are we solving? Its logs are collected in an ELK stack.
