Virtual consensus in Delos , Balakrishnan et al. If you think of this a bit like mapping memory addresses to data in memory, then another parallel comes to mind: the virtual address space. We propose the novel abstraction of a virtual shared log (or VirtualLog). Facebook, Inc. ), OSDI’2020. What does the VirtualLog give us?

In 2019, Gartner reported that 30% of organizations worldwide were running containerized applications. Unfortunately, container security is much more difficult to achieve than security for more traditional compute platforms, such as virtual machines or bare metal hosts. Containers have become hugely popular. Remove privileges.

HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. So over at Phoronix some database benchmarks were published showing PostgreSQL 12 Performance With AMD EPYC 7742 vs. Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 Benchmarks . uname -a Linux ubuntu19 5.3.0-rc3-custom

CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. Note that Ubuntu also has a frame to show entry into vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object). Over the years, more and more articles have been published about clocksource in virtual machines, and it's now a well-known issue. include <sys/time.h>

Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. I wrote about using CPU-Z to benchmark the Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 processor in an Azure VM in this article. Figure 1: CPU-Z Benchmark Results for LS16v2.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

On August 7, 2019, AMD finally unveiled their new 7nm EPYC 7002 Series of server processors, formerly code-named "Rome" at the AMD EPYC Horizon Event in San Francisco. The initial reviews and benchmarks for these processors have been very impressive: AMD EPYC 7002 Series Rome Delivers a Knockout. More total PCIe lanes and bandwidth.
