How To Build Reusable Angular Components And Share Them With The World

The Polyglot Developer

As you probably know, Angular is all about building UI components. There are several excellent component libraries out there that you can use to build your own application, such as Angular Material , Clarity or Kendo UI to name a few. Such libraries provide common reusable components such as tabs, date pickers, collapsible menus, and much more. Still, there’s always a time where we need something more customized and more adapted to the specific needs of our project.

Scalability: strong and weak scaling

PDC

High performance computing (HPC) clusters are able to solve big problems using a large number of processors. This is also known as parallel computing , where many processors work simultaneously to produce exceptional computational power and to significantly reduce the total computational time. In such scenarios, scalability or scaling is widely used to indicate the ability of hardware and software to deliver greater computational power when the amount of resources is increased.

FlameScope Pattern Recognition

Brendan Gregg

Flamescope is a new open source performance visualization tool that uses [subsecond offset heat maps] and [flame graphs] to analyze **periodic** activity, **variance**, and **perturbations**. We posted this on the Netflix TechBlog, [Netflix FlameScope], and the tool is on [github]. While flame graphs are well understood, subsecond offset heat maps are not (they are another visualization I invented a while ago).

For enterprise customers either undergoing or planning the digital transformation, this is an important question to ask. Enterprise customers spend a large chunk of their digital and marketing budget on CMS and associated modules such as digital asset management (DAM).

You are here. The art of HCI performance testing

n0derunner

At some point potential Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) users want to know – “How fast does this thing go?” The real question is “how do we measure that?” The simplest test is to run a single VM, with a single disk and issue a single IO at a time. We see often see this sort of test in bake-offs, and such a test does answer an important question – “what’s the lowest possible response time I can expect from the storage” However, this test
