Speculative Locking: Breaking the Scale Barrier (JAOO 2005)
This is a 2005 presentation on the use of transactional memory to support parallelism through synchronized block semantics. Measurements done on Azul's Vega hardware, which was the first commercial hardware to ship with HTM support. Many lessons learned since then, but a good reference point in time, and with Intel x86 now supporting similar HTM capabilities, we're sure to see this subject revived.
Lock free programming- pro tips
La scalabilité des applications est une préoccupation importante. Beaucoup de pertes en scalabilité proviennent de code contenant des locks qui produisent une importante contention en cas de forte charge.
Dans cette présentation nous allons aborder différentes techniques (striping, copy-on-write, ring buffer, spinning, ...) qui vont nous permettre de réduire cette contention ou d'obtenir un code sans lock. Nous expliquerons aussi les concepts de Compare-And-Swap et de barrières mémoires.
Casual mass parallel data processing in Java
This document discusses strategies for casual mass parallel data processing in Java using small computation farms of less than 100 servers. It covers building versus buying infrastructure, simple master-slave task distribution topologies, considerations for data plane implementations like using file systems and avoiding network mounts, and algorithms for parallel and streaming computations. Open source projects like NanoCloud and GridAnt are presented as ways to drastically simplify coding for distributed computing clusters.

77739818 troubleshooting-web-logic-103
WebLogic is experiencing an out of memory issue which is causing it to momentarily hang. When the WebLogic java process runs out of memory in either the Java heap or native heap, it logs an "OutOfMemory" error to the PIA_weblogic.log file. This usually occurs during times of high load on the PeopleSoft environment. To resolve it, the Java heap size needs to be increased using the -Xms and -Xmx Java parameters or more memory needs to be added to the server hardware. Monitoring tools can help identify when memory usage is high.

Performant Django - Ara Anjargolian
This document discusses approaches for improving Django performance. It notes that front-end performance issues typically account for 80-90% of response time and recommends caching static assets, bundling/minifying assets, and using a CDN. For back-end issues, it recommends profiling views to identify SQL or Python bottlenecks and provides techniques like select_related, prefetch_related, and caching to address different problem areas. The key message is that performance work requires understanding where time is actually being spent before applying optimizations.
"Building intuitive command-line interfaces in .NET", Alex Thissen
This document discusses CLIs (command line interfaces) and how they can be implemented in .NET. It provides an overview of the benefits of CLIs such as efficiency, automation, and cross-platform support. It then demonstrates how to build CLIs using .NET libraries like System.CommandLine, which provides object models for defining commands, arguments, options and handling command line parsing and execution. Features like middleware, error handling, suggestions and help are demonstrated. Best practices for CLIs like intuitiveness and discoverability are also covered.

"Fast / Resilient / .NET – What to Choose?" Serhiy Kalinets
For a long time It's rather common to see the words “.NET” and “microservices” in a single sentence. Statements like “.NET is Windows only” surprise us and the only reaction is “are you really a .NET developer?”. Everyone makes microservices, runs them in Kubernetes and clouds and that all looks good.
However after a closer look at the code most of that coolness disappears. After some zooming microservices become micro monoliths. Practices and approaches put into the heads of young developers by dotnet veterans (who remember stuff like Remoting or COM / DCOM) don’t give up. The result is monstrous overcomplicated (micro)services that don’t necessarily work fine. For some reason, the area of speed and resilience very often is uncovered.
During this session Serhii will show typical errors making services vulnerable to unexpected conditions. We will break services then fix them, slow down, speed up, stabilise and so on.
Visit this session – its going to be fun. And maybe you’ll recognize your own services among our examples and will fix them proving that .NET can be used to build fast and recilillent solutions.

Life In The FastLane: Full Speed XPages
Using XPages out of the box lets you build good looking and well performing applications. However, as XPage applications become bigger and more complex, performance can become an issue and, if it comes to scalability and speed optimization, there are a couple of things to take into consideration.
Learn how to use partial refresh and partial execution mode and how to monitor its execution using a JSF LifeCycle monitor to avoid multiple re-calculation of controls. We will show tools that can allow you to profile your code, readily available from OpenNTF, along with a demonstration of how to use them to improve the speed of your code.

This presentation tells you the ins and outs on every layer regarding performance and diagnose methods and tools.
Zero Downtime Schema Changes - Galera Cluster - Best Practices
Database schema changes are usually not popular among DBAs or sysadmins, not when you are operating a cluster and cannot afford to switch off the service during a maintenance window. There are different ways to perform schema changes, some procedures being more complicated than others.
Galera Cluster is great at making your MySQL database highly available, but are you concerned about schema changes? Is an ALTER TABLE statement something that requires a lot of advance scheduling? What is the impact on your database uptime?
This is a common question, since ALTER operations in MySQL usually cause the table to be locked and rebuilt – which can potentially be disruptive to your live applications. Fortunately, Galera Cluster has mechanisms to replicate DDL across its nodes.
In these slides, you will learn about the following:
How to perform Zero Downtime Schema Changes
2 main methods: TOI and RSU
Total Order Isolation: predictability and consistency
Rolling Schema Upgrades

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Hibernate, JBoss EAP 7 Application (Ståle Ped...
The fifth major release of Hibernate sports contains many internal changes developed in collaboration between the Hibernate team and the Red Hat middleware performance team. Efficient access to databases is crucial to get scalable and responsive applications. Hibernate 5 received much attention in this area. You’ll benefit from many of these improvements by merely upgrading. But it's important to understand some of these new, performance-boosting features because you will need to explicitly enable them. We'll explain the development background on all of these powerful new features and the investigation process for performance improvements. Our aim is to provide good guidance so you can make the most of it on your own applications. We'll also peek at other performance improvements made on JBoss EAP 7, like on the caching layer, the connection manager, and the web tier. We want to make sure you can all enjoy better-performing applications—that require less power and less servers—without compromising on your developer’s productivity.
Shaping Optimizer's Search Space
The document discusses strategies for optimizing queries by shaping the optimizer's search space. It recommends:
1. Maximizing data locality by using basic B-tree indexes rather than more complex options like partitions or clusters.
2. Writing queries to explicitly exploit indexes by using range conditions, ordering results to match the index order, and terminating scans after a specified number of rows.
3. Ordering columns in multi-column indexes to match the predicates in common queries, with equality conditions before range conditions.
Percona FT / TokuDB
This document discusses Percona Fractal Tree (TokuDB) and compares it to B-Trees and LSM trees. It begins by explaining the limitations of B-Trees for write-heavy workloads and large datasets. It then introduces LSM trees and Fractal Trees as alternatives designed for better write performance. The bulk of the document describes the internals of Fractal Trees, including their use of messages to delay and combine writes. It provides recommendations for configuring Fractal Tree settings and discusses when Fractal Trees are most useful compared to other structures. In the end, it briefly mentions the history and applications of LSM trees.
DIY: A distributed database cluster, or: MySQL Cluster
Live from the International PHP Conference 2013: MySQL Cluster is a distributed, auto-sharding database offering 99,999% high availability. It runs on Rasperry PI as well as on a cluster of multi-core machines. A 30 node cluster was able to deliver 4.3 billion (not million) read transactions per second in 2012. Take a deeper look into the theory behind all the MySQL replication/clustering solutions (including 3rd party) and learn how they differ.
Transactions and Concurrency Control Patterns
This document discusses transactions and concurrency control patterns. It begins by providing background on transactions, including the history and definitions of ACID properties. It then covers topics like locking, multi-version concurrency control, isolation levels, and phenomena that can occur with concurrent transactions like dirty reads, non-repeatable reads and phantom reads. The document also discusses challenges that have emerged with large-scale systems and patterns beyond traditional ACID properties to handle things like logical transactions and state management across multiple requests.
