The document discusses memory usage in Linux systems. It begins by describing the boot process and how the kernel loads into memory. It then explains that Linux uses virtual memory, where each process has its own virtual address space. Physical memory is limited by factors like CPU architecture and motherboard configuration. When an executable runs, not all of its code is loaded; dynamic libraries it depends on are mapped into its address space as well, significantly increasing its memory usage compared to the executable size alone.
The document describes Linux containerization and virtualization technologies including containers, control groups (cgroups), namespaces, and backups. It discusses:
1) How cgroups isolate and limit system resources for containers through mechanisms like cpuset, cpuacct, cpu, memory, blkio, and freezer.
2) How namespaces isolate processes by ID, mounting, networking, IPC, and other resources to separate environments for containers.
3) The new backup system which uses thin provisioning and snapshotting to efficiently backup container environments to backup servers and restore individual accounts or full servers as needed.

OSDC 2017 - Werner Fischer - Linux performance profiling and monitoringNETWAYS
Nowadays system administrators have great choices when it comes down to Linux performance profiling and monitoring. The challenge is to pick the appropriate tools and interpret their results correctly.
This talk is a chance to take a tour through various performance profiling and benchmarking tools, focusing on their benefit for every sysadmin.
More than 25 different tools are presented. Ranging from well known tools like strace, iostat, tcpdump or vmstat to new features like Linux tracepoints or perf_events. You will also learn which tools can be monitored by Icinga and which monitoring plugins are already available for that.
At the end the goal is to gather reference points to look at, whenever you are faced with performance problems.
Take the chance to close your knowledge gaps and learn how to get the most out of your system.

Linux 4.x Tracing: Performance Analysis with bcc/BPFBrendan Gregg
Talk about bcc/eBPF for SCALE15x (2017) by Brendan Gregg. "BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) has been enhanced in the Linux 4.x series and now powers a large collection of performance analysis and observability tools ready for you to use, included in the bcc (BPF Complier Collection) open source project. BPF nowadays can do system tracing, software defined networks, and kernel fast path: much more than just filtering packets! This talk will focus on the bcc/BPF tools for performance analysis, which make use of other built in Linux capabilities: dynamic tracing (kprobes and uprobes) and static tracing (tracepoints and USDT). There are now bcc tools for measuring latency distributions for file system I/O and run queue latency, printing details of storage device I/O and TCP retransmits, investigating blocked stack traces and memory leaks, and a whole lot more. These lead to performance wins large and small, especially when instrumenting areas that previously had zero visibility. Tracing superpowers have finally arrived, built in to Linux."

This document discusses Oracle wait events. It explains that wait events track where Oracle is spending its time, including different types of waits like CPU time, I/O events, enqueue events and latch events. It provides examples of specific wait events like db file sequential read, direct path write, log file sync and buffer busy waits. It also gives recommendations for interpreting wait event data and resolving high wait times through methods like tuning SQL, improving I/O speeds, and reducing contention.
This document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) for monitoring the health and resource utilization of Exadata database machines using Oracle Enterprise Manager. It defines 10 metric extensions to monitor storage servers, including metrics for I/O operations per second, throughput, response time, load, and composite metrics to evaluate overall disk health. Instructions are provided on creating these metric extensions in Enterprise Manager using SQL queries and setting initial warning and critical thresholds. The document also covers Exadata and storage server architecture and explains how to monitor components holistically using these defined KPIs and Enterprise Manager services.
This document provides a system capacity plan for Company's new architecture. It determines the server, memory, and disk capacity requirements for the production, user learning, and testing environments to support the Oracle applications and business volumes over the next 3 years. Key results found sufficient initial capacity for cutover but identified future upgrades that may be needed. It also specifies desktop client machine requirements.
This document describes a visualization technique for SQL tuning called Visual SQL Tuning (VST). VST involves drawing the tables involved in a SQL query as nodes and the joins between the tables as connecting lines to show the relationships. It also identifies any filter conditions in the WHERE clause marked on the relevant tables. This visual representation of the tables, joins, and filters can help identify the optimal execution path for the SQL query.
The document provides information on useful Linux/UNIX command line tools for Oracle DBAs to monitor and troubleshoot the underlying operating system and Oracle database. It discusses tools such as sar, sadc, sadf, mpstat, vmstat, ipc, and others that provide statistics on CPU usage, memory usage, paging activity, process activity and interprocess communication resources. For each tool, it provides examples of commands and output to understand what statistics are reported. The document is a guide to key Linux/UNIX command line performance monitoring and diagnostic utilities for Oracle DBAs.
This document introduces several concepts for tuning SQL queries, including modifying the join order, join method, and access method. It discusses using hints, statistics, and initialization parameters to influence the execution plan and cause the database to run queries more efficiently. Examples are provided for improving a sample query that joins multiple tables using different techniques.
The document discusses how database optimizers can sometimes provide incorrect cardinality estimates that result in inefficient query plans. It provides four examples of cardinality errors caused by uneven data distributions. The key strategies for addressing cardinality problems are: 1) giving the optimizer more statistical information through histograms and SQL profiles, 2) overriding optimizer decisions with hints, and 3) changing the application design/data model. Providing more information to the optimizer usually improves plans without additional code changes.
The document describes Active Session History (ASH), a new methodology for performance tuning introduced by Oracle. ASH simplifies performance tuning by using statistical sampling to collect session state and resource usage data over time. This provides a multidimensional view of sessions, SQL, users, objects, and waits consuming resources. ASH replaces previous methods that collected complete data at infrequent intervals, obscuring problems. Its sampling approach is cheaper, faster, and provides a good representation of the workload. The document outlines how ASH data can be used to identify top resource consumers and troubleshoot issues.
