Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

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.

WiredTiger Logging and Checkpoint Mechanism

Percona

” This acts as a step to ensure durability by recovering lost data from the same journal files in case of crashes, power, and hardware failures between the checkpoints (see below) Here’s what the process looks like. The same data, in the form of pages inside the Wiredtiger cache, are also marked dirty. wt and index-*.wt).

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy

The Morning Paper

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy Tsai & Sanchez, ASPLOS’19. Existing cache and main memory compression techniques compress data in small fixed-size blocks, typically cache lines. Hotpads is a hardware-managed hierarchy of scratchpad-like memories called pads.

This spring: High-Performance and Low-Latency C++ (Stockholm) and ACCU (Bristol)

Sutter's Mill

I don’t get to Europe very often apart from ISO C++ standards meetings, but this spring I’ve been able to accept invitations for two English-language European events in the last week of April. Tue-Thu Apr 25-27: High-Performance and Low-Latency C++ (Stockholm).

Back-to-Basics Weekend Reading - A Decomposition Storage Model

All Things Distributed

Not everybody agreed that the "N-ary Storage Model" (NSM) was the best approach for all workloads but it stayed dominant until hardware constraints, especially on caches, forced the community to revisit some of the alternatives. The first practical modern implementation is probably C-Store by Stonebraker, et al.

HammerDB for Managers

HammerDB

It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. These factors meant that often when looking for database performance information, the results for a particular combination of software and hardware were not available. Cached vs Scaled Workloads.
