Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) vs. Dedicated Hosting at ScaleGrid

Scalegrid

This is why our BYOC pricing is less than our Dedicated Hosting pricing, as the costs listed for BYOC are only what you pay for ScaleGrid and don’t include your hardware costs. Deploying your application and database on the same VPC also provides the lowest possible latency path. Where to host your cloud database? No problem.

Why I hate MPI (from a performance analysis perspective)

John McCalpin

According to Dr. Bandwidth, performance analysis has two recurring themes: How fast should this code (or “simple” variations on this code) run on this hardware? The user environment defines the mapping of MPI ranks to hardware resources (cores, sockets, nodes). The MPI runtime library. in ways that are seldom transparent.

Automating chaos experiments in production

The Morning Paper

Two failure modes we focus on are a service becoming slower (increase in response latency) or a service failing outright (returning errors). On error rates.

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. 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.

Taiji: managing global user traffic for large-scale Internet services at the edge

The Morning Paper

The ability of a datacenter to handle traffic changes over time as capacity is added or removed, and hardware upgraded The routing needs to be able to tolerate failures without making the situation worse. For example, balance utilisation across all data centers, or optimise for network latency. Sharing is caring caching.

Failure Modes and Continuous Resilience

Adrian Cockcroft

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better.
