All Things Distributed

NOVEMBER 15, 2010

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Now that our ability to generate higher and higher clock rates has stalled and CPU architectural improvements have shifted focus towards multiple cores, we see that it is becoming harder to efficiently use these computer systems.

When there are multiple options for a decision, each decision outcome should be exercised before moving on to the next decision. Finally, once all the decision outcomes on the baseline path have been covered, apply the same approach to all subsequent paths until all the decision outcomes in the specified code have been exercised.

(Note that “no side effects on normal execution” is always automatically true for violation handlers even when an assertion system such as proposed in [4] allows arbitrary custom violation handlers to be installed, because those are executed only if we discover that we’re in a corrupted state and so are already outside of normal execution.

When a system ‘scales’ it is able to deliver higher levels of performance proportional to the system resources available to it. In particular, this means as we add CPU cores and increase the system load, we see higher performance. In this example, we will compare MySQL 5.7.33 and MySQL 8.0.25 and MySQL 5.7.33.
