The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.

On the last morning of the conference Daniel Bittman presented some of the work being done in the context of the Twizzler OS project to explore new programming models for NVM. The starting point is a set of three asumptions for an NVM-based programming model: Compared to traditional persistent media, NVM is fast.

With the rapid advancements in web application technologies, programming languages, cloud computing services, microservices, hybrid environments, etc., monitoring distributed systems becomes much more difficult to carry out and manage. Software and hardware components are autonomous and execute tasks concurrently.

A wide range of users with different operating systems, browsers, hardware configurations and other variables provides a wide sample size that helps developers discover as many issues as possible. This helps developers decide when to increase server disk space and power or whether or not using a virtual cloud server is optimal.

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc.

The operating system signals completion when the I/O stack finishes the request. Linux provides different system calls (syscall)/commands for asynchronous behavior. Linux may need similar utilities to control various hardware cache installations. You can explore your system using the df and lsblk commands.

If we would compare the Mouseless Development Environment to the solar system, the shell would be the sun and everything else would turn around it. It’s because the shell is really powerful: it allows you to run many small programs which work very well together. They’re called CLIs (Command-Line Interfaces). But first, a bit of theory.
