What Adrian Did Next — Part 4 — how I helped Netflix launch on iPad and iPhone — 2007 to 2010

Adrian Cockcroft

We had some fun getting hardware figured out, and I used a 3D printer to make some cases, but the whole project was interrupted by the delivery of the iPhone by Apple in late 2007. Before 2007 mobile phones were extremely locked down by the carriers and manufacturers and they were not openly programmable.

Save Money in AWS RDS: Don’t Trust the Defaults

Percona

The innodb_io_capacity_max parameter was set to 2000, so the hardware should be able to deliver that many IOPS without major issues. Results in CloudWatch show we were right: The reduction during the last couple of weeks is more than 50% of IOPS, which is pretty decent now, and we haven’t changed the hardware at all.

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For September 14th, 2018

High Scalability

Thus, despite both quoting 11 nines of durability against hardware failures, S3 is durable against failures that B2 is not, and is thus better. DSHR : As I understand it, Amazon's S3 is redundant across three data centers, whereas Backblaze's B2 is not.

Impact of Querying Table Information From information_schema

Percona

The percentage in degradation will vary depending on many factors {hardware, workload, number of tables, configuration, etc.}. Disclaimer : This blog post is meant to show a less-known problem but is not meant to be a serious benchmark. Setup The setup consists of creating 10K tables with sysbench and adding 20 FKs to 20 tables.

Scalability: strong and weak scaling

PDC

In such scenarios, scalability or scaling is widely used to indicate the ability of hardware and software to deliver greater computational power when the amount of resources is increased. Table 1: Strong scaling for Julia set generator code. Table 2: Weak scaling for Julia set generator code.

is access to hardware devices. This allows customisation and use of specialised features without custom, proprietary software for niche hardware. Some commenters appear to confuse unlike hardware for differences in software. Thankfully, the advent of M1 Macs makes it possible to remove hardware differences from comparisons.
