What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

Traditional computing models rely on virtual or physical machines, where each instance includes a complete operating system, CPU cycles, and memory. There is no need to plan for extra resources, update operating systems, or install frameworks. The provider is essentially your system administrator.

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. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Program (MIP). can we actually make this work in practice?

What is AWS Lambda?

Dynatrace

You will likely need to write code to integrate systems and handle complex tasks or incoming network requests. As a bonus, operations staff never needs to update operating systems or hardware, because AWS manages servers with no stoppage of application functionality. AWS continues to improve how it handles latency issues.

Taskbar Latency and Kernel Calls

Randon ASCII

Remember that these are calls to the operating system – kernel calls. I also don’t know why right-clicking on other programs’ icons on the task bar is also a bit slow – it’s apparently a different issue, or an odd design decision. That is an average read of 68 bytes each time. Think about that for a moment.

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For September 14th, 2018

High Scalability

Because of that big servers and other memory systems need to have another kind of memory in the hierarchy. SCM slots between DRAM and flash in terms of latency, cost, and density. IBM still dominates mainframes and Microsoft still dominates PC operating systems and productivity software. They're generally right.

Crucial Redis Monitoring Metrics You Must Watch

Scalegrid

Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. It can achieve impressive performance, handling up to 50 million operations per second.

Trip report: February 2025 ISO C++ standards meeting (Hagenberg, Austria)

Sutter's Mill

Relatedly, P1494R4 Partial program correctness by Davis Herring adds the idea of observable checkpoints that limit the ability of undefined behavior to perform time-travel optimizations. Note: This is the second time contracts has been voted into draft standard C++. It was briefly part of draft C++20, but was then removed for further work.
