Or worse yet, sometimes I get questions about regaining normal operations after a traffic increase caused performance destabilization. But we can discuss common bottlenecks, how to assess them, and have a better understanding as to why proactive monitoring is so important when it comes to responding to traffic growth.

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.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. In the same way that we have moved from a few big software releases a year to continuous delivery of many small changes, we need to move from annual disaster recover tests or suffering when things actually break, to continuously tested resilience.

In this type of environment, there are many potential sources of failure, stemming from the infrastructure itself (e.g. Defining and running experiments.

While I was writing chapter 3 of my book, Activist Investing in Strategic Software , I spent time researching the rise of centralized procurement departments in the 1990s. Buying became an exercise in sourcing for the lowest unit cost any vendor was willing to supply for a particular skill-set.
