This document provides an example of using IBM's Performance Data Investigator tool to analyze collection services data from an IBM Power Systems server. The analysis identifies a period of low CPU utilization that corresponded to a rise in operating system contention. Drilling further into the wait data revealed that most wait time was due to disk page faults from a database server job. The threads of that job were each waiting over 90% of their time. The analysis then identifies the user and database that the server job was processing data for. In the end, while some issues were diagnosed, further job watcher data would be needed to fully understand the source of identified machine level gate serialization waits.
Many modern and emerging applications must process huge amounts of data.
Unfortunately, prevalent computer architectures are based on the von Neumann design, where processing units and memory units are located apart, which make them highly inefficient for large-scale data intensive tasks.
The performance and energy costs when executing this type of applications are dominated by the movement of data between memory units and processing units. This is known as the von Neumann bottleneck.
Processing-in-Memory (PIM) is a computing paradigm that avoids most of this data movement by putting together, in the same place or near, computation and data.
This talk will give an overview of PIM and will discuss some of the key enabling technologies.
Next I will present some of our research results in that area, specifically in the application areas of genome sequence alignment and time series analysis.

Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR SDRAM, is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, and DDR4 SDRAM, and soon will be superseded by DDR5 SDRAM. None of its successors are forward or backward compatible with DDR1 SDRAM, meaning DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules will not work in DDR1-equipped motherboards, and vice versa.
Compared to single data rate (SDR) SDRAM, the DDR SDRAM interface makes higher transfer rates possible by more strict control of the timing of the electrical data and clock signals. Implementations often have to use schemes such as phase-locked loops and self-calibration to reach the required timing accuracy.[4][5] The interface uses double pumping (transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal) to double data bus bandwidth without a corresponding increase in clock frequency. One advantage of keeping the clock frequency down is that it reduces the signal integrity requirements on the circuit board connecting the memory to the controller. The name "double data rate" refers to the fact that a DDR SDRAM with a certain clock frequency achieves nearly twice the bandwidth of a SDR SDRAM running at the same clock frequency, due to this double pumping.

IBM provides a number of free tools to assist in monitoring and diagnosing issues when running any Java application: from Hello World to IBM or third party middleware based applications. This session will introduce you to those tools, highlight how they have been extended with IBM middleware product knowledge, how they have been integrated into IBMs development tools, and show you how to use them to investigate and resolve real world problem scenarios.
Presented at IBM Impact 2013
This session discusses how to maximize the performance of an application deployment with tools that are native to the server platform, as well as cross-platform Java analysis and monitoring tools include IBM Health Center and IBM Service Engage. The session begins with systematic steps organizations can take to locate a performance problem in a complex system and moves on to analysis they can do to understand the root cause of the problem. The picture is completed by consideration of the tools and techniques available to monitor application performance in normal operation so that organizations can catch performance issues before they build up into serious problems.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
