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. This means that the overheads of system calls become much more noticeable. in front of that memory , as we saw last week).

Failure Modes and Continuous Resilience

Adrian Cockcroft

A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Hence, one way to reduce risk is to make systems more observable. Try to measure your mean time to respond (MTTR) for incidents.

A Decade of Dynamo: Powering the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications

All Things Distributed

About 20 percent would return a set of rows, but still operate on only a single table. The success of our early results with the Dynamo database encouraged us to write Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper and share it at the 2007 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP conference), so that others in the industry could benefit.
