Hardware considerations The first thing we have to consider here is the resources that the underlying host provides to the database. Conclusion Capacity planning is not something you do once a year or more as part of a general exercise. Let’s take a look at each common resource.

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. The eagle-eyed reader will have noticed another feature of this work in that quotation: the aim is to create a global address space that spans nodes and processes.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. The world didn't yet have pervasive multi-process browser sandboxing, JS JITs , or metal-speed binary isolation. Don't like the consequences?

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Staff should be familiar with recovery processes and the behavior of the system when it’s working hard to mitigate failures. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes.

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.”

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. Backend processing latency stays fairly constant during this operation. Sharing is caring caching.

From financial processing and traditional oil & gas exploration HPC applications to integrating complex 3D graphics into online and mobile applications, the applications of GPU processing appear to be limitless. Because of its focus on latency, the generic CPU yielded rather inefficient system for graphics processing.
