A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

These systems can include physical servers, containers, virtual machines, or even a device, or node, that connects and communicates with the network. A three-tier system is a software application architecture that consists of a presentation layer, application layer, and data, or core, layer. Blockchain is a good example of this.

In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated. In short, any data that is written must be consistent with the data present. Why ProxySQL? UUID(), ?, ?,

The Morning Paper

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. Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.
