Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

We were able to meaningfully improve both the predictability and performance of these containers by taking some of the CPU isolation responsibility away from the operating system and moving towards a data driven solution involving combinatorial optimization and machine learning.

How to understand TPC-C tpmC and TPROC-C NOPM and what is ‘good’ performance?

HammerDB

More than ever, we see confusion in interpreting and comparing the performance of databases with workloads derived from the TPC-Council’s TPC-C specification, including HammerDB’s TPROC-C NOPM and TPM. Importantly, TPC-C and tpmC are registered trademarks of the TPC-Council.

Windows Timer Resolution: The Great Rule Change

Randon ASCII

First, a bit of operating-system design context. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping? The answer is hardware interrupts. Timer interrupts and their raison d’être. That’s crazy!
