The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

Colleagues/Internet I love using [Linux performance tools]. But I also love solving issues quickly, and sometimes that means just asking colleagues or searching the Internet. Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()? Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.

A Decade of Dynamo: Powering the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications

All Things Distributed

The cloud-hosted version would need to be: Scalable – The service would need to support hundreds of thousands, or even millions of AWS customers, each supporting their own internet-scale applications. Today, DynamoDB powers the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications that would overburden traditional relational databases.

Solaris to Linux Migration 2017

Brendan Gregg

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). The odd time we hit them, we'll take the "oops message" – a dump of the kernel stack trace and other details from the system log – and search the Internet.
