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. The availability of a computer system is the percentage of time its services are up during a period of time. Where to host your cloud database? Expert Tip.

An analysis of performance evolution of Linux’s core operations

The Morning Paper

For the rest of us, if you really need that extra performance (maybe what you get out-of-the-box or with minimal tuning is good enough for your use case) then you can upgrade hardware and/or pay for a commercial license of a tuned distributed (RHEL). A second takeaway is this: security has a cost! Measuring the kernel. Headline results.

Hardware considerations The first thing we have to consider here is the resources that the underlying host provides to the database. Let’s take a look at each common resource.

Why Browsers Get Built

Alex Russell

In some sense it's a confidence-management exercise. In both cases, the OS will task the browser team to heavily prioritise integrations with the latest OS and hardware features at the expense of more broadly useful capabilities — e.g. shipping "notch" CSS and "force touch" events while neglecting Push.

A Spectrum of Actions, Part II

J. Paul Reed

Even though that remediation task was pretty minor — tweaking some low-level hardware settings on each physical server and rebooting — and could have been done quickly enough, there was intense debate on whether it should be done. In practice (and I’ve done this exercise with teams), this spectrum can provide useful insight.

A persistent problem: managing pointers in NVM

The Morning Paper

At the start of November I was privileged to attend HPTS (the High Performance Transaction Systems) conference in Asilomar. 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. PLOS’19.

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.
