USENIX LISA2021 Computing Performance: On the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. The video is on [youtube]: The slides are on [slideshare] or as a [PDF]: I work on many areas of performance, but recently I've had a lot of demand to talk about BPF. Ford, et al., “TCP

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

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

India has been the epicentre of smartphone growth in recent years, owing to the sheer size of its market and an accelerating shift away from feature phones which made up the majority of Indian mobile devices until as late as 2019. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. So what did $150USD fetch in 2019? " package.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. In 2019 myself and others tested kvm-clock and found it was only about 20% slower than tsc.
