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.

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.”

During the ten week course, students implement four different assignments: an exactly-once RPC protocol; a primary-backup system; Paxos; and a scalable, transactional key-value storage system. Consider the lab exercise to implement Paxos. 175 undergraduates a year currently go through this course. So DSLabs also uses model checking.

These trade-offs have even impacted the way the lowest level building blocks in our computer architectures have been designed. Configuring kernel execution is not a trivial exercise and requires GPU device specific knowledge. Driving Storage Costs Down for AWS Customers. Expanding the Cloud - The AWS Storage Gateway.

Large projects like browser engines also exercise governance through a hierarchy of "OWNER bits," which explicitly name engineers empowered to permit changes in a section of the codebase. Developers can provide feedback from using features and lobby other browsers to adopt (or re-design) them.

The nuances of careful security design are common casualties in FUD-slinging fights. 11] We designed web APIs to accommodate a diversity of views about exposing features, and developers guard against variable support already. Not draining other's bank accounts may be something of an exercise to the reader. ??.
