Distance-Based ISA for Efficient Register Management

ACM Sigarch

To create a CPU core that can execute a large number of instructions in parallel, it is necessary to improve both the architecturewhich includes the overall CPU design and the instruction set architecture (ISA) designand the microarchitecture, which refers to the hardware design that optimizes instruction execution.

What is infrastructure monitoring and why is it mission-critical in the new normal?

Dynatrace

If you don’t have insight into the software and services that operate your business, you can’t efficiently run your business. This shift requires infrastructure monitoring to ensure all your components work together across applications, operating systems, storage, servers, virtualization, and more.

Five-nines availability: Always-on infrastructure delivers system availability during the holidays’ peak loads

Dynatrace

How can IT teams deliver system availability under peak loads that will satisfy customers? Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. Site reliability engineering teams often measure system availability in percentages in the pursuit of 100% uptime. But is five nines availability attainable?

The evolution of single-core bandwidth in multicore processors

John McCalpin

This metric is interesting because we don’t always have the luxury of parallelizing every application we run, and our operating systems almost always process each call (e.g., GHz, 1530 GB/s peak BW from 6 HBM stacks), I see single-thread sustained memory bandwidth of 304 GB/s on the ReadOnly benchmark used here.

Is It a Read Intensive or a Write Intensive Workload?

Percona

Let’s examine the TPC-C Benchmark from this point of view, or more specifically its implementation in Sysbench. The illustrations below are taken from Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) while running this benchmark. Let’s now look at the operating system level. Analyzing read/write workload by counts.

The top 5 reasons to run your own database benchmarks

HammerDB

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Supercomputing Predictions: Custom CPUs, CXL3.0, and Petalith Architectures

Adrian Cockcroft

Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0 petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.
