This boils down to a single digit µs latency toleration in the tail for far memory, and in addition to security and privacy concerns, rules out remote memory solutions. Thus we’re fundamentally trading (de)-compression latency at access time for the ability to pack more data in memory. ML-based auto-tuning. Evaluation.

most recently ‘ Efficient lock-free durable sets ‘). higher latency and lower bandwidth)… We have found the actual behavior of Optane DIMMs to be more complicated and nuanced than the "slower, persistent DRAM" label would suggest. The read latency for Optane is 2x-3x higher than DRAM. FAST’20.

The main objective of this post is to share my experience over the past years tuning MongoDB and centralize the diverse sources that I crossed in this journey in a unique place. The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. Spoiler alert: This post focuses on MongoDB 3.6.X tcp_fin_timeout = 30 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl

Each of the two vector units can issue one FMA instruction per cycle, assuming that there are enough independent accumulators to tolerate the 6-cycle dependent-operation latency. This is an uninspiring fraction of peak performance that would normally suggest significant inefficiencies in either the hardware or software. jb.B1.8.

The data shape will dictate capacity planning, tuning of the backbone, and scalability analysis for individual components. A message-oriented implementation requires an efficient messaging backbone that facilitates the exchange of data in a reliable and secure way with the lowest latency possible. At least once?

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Wait time: Sometimes called average latency, wait time refers the amount of time a request spends in a queue before it gets processed. What is Performance Testing?

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
