- daviddever23box 4y agoAgreed - multi-core processing is now ubiquitous, from a Raspberry Pi on down, and negative affinity concepts ought to be in every junior engineer's toolkit (NOT that they should be cargo-culted, but understood and deployed where it is beneficial).
- medawsonjr 4y agoHi, I'm the author. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and pleasantly surprised that Tanel posted it already. I was right in the middle of posting it myself an hour ago when I noticed it had been posted and had fostered a discussion already :)
- trollied 4y agoBrilliant, thank you! I used to be a performance engineer many moons ago & love this content. Makes me want to get back into it!
- tanelpoder 4y agoThanks for writing this up and doing the work preceding the writeup. Every time I read your articles, I learn something important and new (and I consider myself pretty good in the Linux perf/troubleshooting space :-)
- tanelpoder 4y agoThanks for the props :-) This might not mean that much here. But one very useful thing that came out of the long Oracle RDBMS performance career is that now I'm not afraid of addressing (attacking?) systems of any complexity. As the Oracle DB is one of the most complex pieces of software out there (it can also be a cache-coherent distributed system, BTW) so once you learn how to handle that, plus all the OS, storage interactions, you'll be capable of dealing with most (if not all) RDBMS out there :-)
