Notes on: 'Performance Culture' at Google I/O 2014

Tim Kadlec

At Google I/O 2014 , Lara Swanson and Paul Lewis discussed performance culture. Since it’s one of my favorite topics, I decided to share my notes: 34% of US adults use a smartphone as their primary means of internet access. Mobile networks add a tremendous amount of latency. We are not our end users.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here. A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. How would you _time_ time?

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

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

Does SSL Slow Down My Site?

MachMetrics

In a vacuum, an SSL certificate does add some additional latency, as it requires 2 extra round trips to establish a secure connection before sending any data to the browser. Secondly, SSL/HTTPS unlocks additional web performance benefits that more than make up for the added latency. To be completely honest, you almost have to use it.

Three Other Models of Computer System Performance: Part 1

ACM Sigarch

Computer systems, from the Internet-of-Things devices to datacenters, are complex and optimizing them can enhance capability and save money. How many buffers are needed to track pending requests as a function of needed bandwidth and expected latency? Can one both minimize latency and maximize throughput for unscheduled work?
