A log is a detailed, timestamped record of an event generated by an operating system, computing environment, application, server, or network device. Logs can include data about user inputs, system processes, and hardware states. Optimized system performance. Increased collaboration.

Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure.

Let’s look at how the workloads behave when running on an identical system We ran both sysbench and HammerDB on a system with: Processors: Two Intel Xeon 8360Y processor sockets (36 Core/72 Threads per socket). Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 For the experiments in this blog, we did not tune the system.

This metric is interesting because we don’t always have the luxury of parallelizing every application we run, and our operating systems almost always process each call (e.g., Stay tuned! buffer copies for filesystem access) with a single thread. On a VE20B (8 cores, 1.6

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.

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. The main objective of this post is to share my experience over the past years tuning MongoDB and centralize the diverse sources that I crossed in this journey in a unique place.

Using zswap means that no new hardware solutions are required, enabling rapid deployment across clusters. The system also collects per-job cold-page histograms for a given set of predefined cold age thresholds. ML-based auto-tuning. The far memory system has been deployed in production since 2016.

For this reason we need to implement our database sessions in the form of operating system threads. This is possible because the Tcl interpreter is exceptionally compact and lightweight (Also for this reason Tcl is often used as an embedded language in hardware such as Cisco Routers). Tcl Multithreading in parallel.

As the chart shows because we know that both HammerDB and the implementation of the TPC-C workload scales then we can determine that with this particular database engine both the software and hardware scales as well. If you only test your own application (and if you have more than one application which one will you use for benchmarking?)

Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes. If you have big physical hardware with defaults, then you should look at optimizing MAXDOP.

Not all back-end errors affect the user experience, but keeping track of them can prove helpful when tuning your app. Monitoring errors on the front-end requires a bit more work because front-end performance is highly dependant on the user’s hardware, software and connection.

What operating systems do you use? Eventually, we resorted to caching the events in memory for a short duration and also tuning the GC settings on those nodes as we are doing a lot of young generation collections. How are software and hardware upgrades rolled out? Which web server do you use? Nginx, HAproxy.
