CPU architectures are good for serial programs but have slower memory access and thread switching than GPUs. GPU architectures devote most transistors to processing elements for parallel computation on large data sets using shared memory. CUDA provides C extensions for programming GPUs for general purpose processing using a thread hierarchy of blocks and grids. Matrix addition can be accelerated on a GPU using CUDA by assigning each thread to calculate one element. Results show GPU acceleration provides speedups over CPUs for tasks in radio astronomy imaging pipelines.
This document discusses exploring GPGPU workloads. It provides an introduction to GPGPU and GPU architecture. It analyzes workloads using statistical methods like PCA and hierarchical clustering. The results show that branch divergence, instruction count, and memory usage are key factors affecting efficiency. Workloads can be classified based on their characteristics. Future trends include GPUs being used more for computing and evolving architectures.
Pin Yi Tsai presented a weekly report on work computing integral images and extracting feature values. Two image sizes, 640x480 and 540x720, were tested for computing integral images in parallel on a GPU. For both sizes, the parallel version had a speed up of around 64% compared to the serial version. Current work is focused on extracting feature values using the GPU and addressing problems such as efficiently determining output data size and possibly using streams to concurrently extract multiple feature types.
MOSIX Cluster allows connecting computers together to function as a single system for compute and data intensive applications. It can be used in a virtual environment by downloading a VMDK file, extracting it, copying it for each node, changing the UUID, creating VMs using the VMDK files, and running the "cluster" command on one node to automatically configure all nodes in the network to function as a cluster. Common MOSIX commands include mosrun to run programs on the cluster, mosps to view processes, and mosmon to monitor cluster status.
This document summarizes a candidate's technical skills across several areas:
1) Administration of the AIX operating system including installation, partitioning, performance tuning, disaster recovery, and scripting.
2) Virtualization technologies on PowerVM including virtual I/O servers, logical partitioning, processor and memory virtualization.
3) Cluster technologies including PowerHA, GPFS file systems, storage pools, replication, and monitoring tools.
4) Performance analysis tools like nmon, lpar2rrd, and trace utilities. Hardware management including HMC, processor/memory placement, I/O mapping.
5) Storage infrastructure administration including IBM SVC, Storwize, Brocade switches
GPUs are specialized for enormous small tasks in parallel, while CPUs are optimized for few huge tasks sequentially. The typical procedure for a CUDA program includes: 1) allocating memory on the GPU, 2) copying data from CPU to GPU, 3) launching kernels on the GPU, and 4) copying results back to the CPU. Measuring GPU performance focuses on throughput or tasks processed per hour rather than latency of each task.

Univa and SUSE at SC17: Scaling Machine Learning for SUSE Linux Containers, S...Ian Lumb
Armed with nothing more than an Apache Spark toting SUSE Linux laptop, you have all the trappings required to prototype the application of Machine Learning against your data-science needs. From programmability in Scala, Java or Python, to built-in support for Machine Learning via MLlib, Spark is an exceedingly effective enabler that allows you to rapidly produce results. Of course, as soon as your prototyping proves successful, you'll want to scale out to embrace the volume, variety and velocity that characterizes today's demands in Big Data Analytics ... in production. Because Spark is as comfortable on an isolated laptop as it is in a distributed-computing environment, addressing these ‘Big Data’ requirements in production boils down to effectively and efficiently embracing SUSE Linux containers, servers, clusters and clouds. As case studies will illustrate, this transition from prototype to production can be made successfully.

Userspace RCU library : what linear multiprocessor scalability means for your...Alexey Ivanov
RCU is well-known at the kernel-level for providing a way to synchronize shared data structures in read-often, update-rarely scenarios.
The development of a RCU library at the userspace application level has been mainly driven by the need for efficient synchronization of userspace tracing control data structures.
IBM kindly agreed to allow distribution of RCU-related code in a LGPL library, which makes it available for everyone to use. This can have large impact on the design of highly scalable applications performing caching of frequent requests, like domain name servers, proxy and web servers.
This presentation will discuss about the class of applications which could benefit from using the userspace RCU library.
The userspace RCU library is available under the LGPL license at http://www.lttng.org/urcu .
This document summarizes the author's experience optimizing Gnocchi, an open source time-series database, to store metrics for hundreds of thousands of resources over many months.

Benchmark results show the new version achieves 50% higher write throughput, 40-60% faster computation times, 30-60% better overall performance, and 30-40% fewer operations. Usage hints are also provided to help optimize for different use cases.
Recent advances in the Linux kernel resource managementOpenVZ
This document discusses recent advances in Linux kernel resource management through control groups (cgroups). It provides background on containers and their implementation, outlines existing resource management mechanisms and their shortcomings, and describes how cgroups provide a generic mechanism for grouping tasks and controlling their access to resources like CPU, memory, disk I/O through hierarchical groups and controllers. Specifically, it details the memory controller for cgroups which accounts for and reclaims user memory and triggers the OOM killer if limits are exceeded. Future work is needed to improve accounting of shared memory and implement other resource controllers.
This document introduces a dbm-style abstraction layer for storing data in PHP. It allows caching objects, strings, integers or arrays by key-value in databases like Berkeley DB, Quick Database Manager or GNU Database Manager. The layer wraps the dba_* functions and can be used to store, retrieve, delete and get metadata for cached items. It also provides options for cleaning cached data by removing all entries, expired entries or flushing the entire storage file.
Joblib Toward efficient computing : from laptop to cloudPyDataParis
Joblib is a Python module that provides tools for parallel computing such as caching results on disk, efficient persistence of large numpy arrays, and support for multiple parallel backends including threading, multiprocessing, distributed, and ipyparallel. Recent updates have improved Joblib's persistence functionality by allowing multiple arrays to be stored in a single file without memory copies, supporting additional compression formats like gzip and bz2, and enabling custom parallel backends. Future work may include persisting directly to file-like objects and remote storage as well as using Joblib in cloud computing environments.

It then outlines some of the key tools and techniques used to bake performance optimizations into the base AMI, including kernel tuning to improve efficiency and identify ideal instance types. Specific examples of CFS scheduler, page cache, block layer, memory allocation, and network stack tuning are also covered. The document concludes by discussing future tuning plans and an appendix on profiling tools like perf and SystemTap.
This document discusses Docker concepts and implementation in Chinese. It covers Linux kernel namespaces, seccomp, cgroups, LXC, and Docker. Namespaces isolate processes and resources between containers. Cgroups control resource limits and prioritization. LXC provides containerization tools while Docker builds on these concepts and provides an easy-to-use interface for containers. The document also provides examples of using namespaces, cgroups, LXC, and building Docker images.
The document provides an overview of the cgroup subsystem and namespace subsystem in Linux, which form the basis of Linux containers. It discusses how cgroups and namespaces enable lightweight virtualization of processes through isolation of resources and namespaces. It then covers specific aspects of cgroups like the memory, CPU, devices, and PIDs controllers. It also summarizes the key differences and improvements in the cgroup v2 implementation, such as having a single unified hierarchy and consistent controller interfaces.
Control groups (cgroups) allow administrators to allocate CPU, memory, storage, and other system resources to groups of processes running on the system.

The document proposes implementing register files in the processor hardware to improve context switching performance in hard real-time systems. Conventionally, context switching involves saving processor registers to external memory, which takes 50-80 clock cycles. The proposed approach saves contexts to register files within the processor, requiring only 4 clock cycles. Software and a small operating system were modified to use new "save context" and "restore context" instructions. Simulation results showed contexts being saved and restored from an internal register file in 2 clock cycles each. Two test applications demonstrated the performance improvement from using internal register files versus external memory for context switching.
OpenStack is an open source cloud operating system that provides on-demand provisioning of compute, storage, and networking resources. It consists of several interconnected components that are managed through a dashboard interface. The key components include Horizon (dashboard), Keystone (authentication), Swift (object storage), Glance (image repository), Nova (compute), Quantum (networking), and Cinder (block storage). Nova is responsible for running virtual machine instances by retrieving images from Glance and scheduling instances on compute hosts using the Nova scheduler. The Nova scheduler uses filters and weights to determine the most suitable host for an instance based on availability, capabilities, and load.
♨️CPU limitation per Oracle database instanceAlireza Kamrani
Cgroups improve database performance by associating a dedicated set of CPUs and memory to a database instance, limiting each instance to only those resources. The setup_processor_group.sh script is used to create cgroups on Linux systems. To bind a database instance to a cgroup, the PROCESSOR_GROUP_NAME parameter must be set to the cgroup name and the instance restarted. Best practices include configuring cgroups out of CPU threads from minimum cores/sockets and creating cgroups with at least 2 CPU cores.
Netezza provides workload management options to efficiently service user queries. It allows restricting the maximum concurrent jobs, creating resource sharing groups to control resource allocation disproportionately, and uses multiple schedulers like gatekeeper and GRA. Gatekeeper queues jobs and schedules based on priority and resource availability. GRA allocates resources to jobs based on user's resource group. Short queries can be prioritized using short query bias which reserves system resources for such queries.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.
2. Default Hierarchies & Unit Types
●
Service
– A group of processes started by systemd based on unit files.
(*.service)
●
Scope
– A group of processes that are started and stopped by
arbitrary processes via the fork() function.
●
Slice
– A group of hierarchically organized units. Slices do not
contain processes, they organize a hierarchy in which
scopes and services are placed.
– Root slice: “-.slice”
4. Resource Controllers We Can Use
●
Cpuset - assigns individual CPUs (on a
multicore system) and memory nodes to tasks
in a cgroup;
●
Memory - sets limits on memory use by tasks in
a cgroup, and generates automatic reports on
memory resources used by those tasks;
7. Limit by Command Line
●
example
– systemctl set-property --runtime name
property=value
– systemctl set-property --runtime nginx.service
CPUShares=600 MemoryLimit=500M
●
with --runtime option for non-persistent
configuration
●
man systemd.resource-control
8. Units About Users
●
For user id 1000:
– user-1000.slice
●
user@1000.service
– Dbus...etc
●
session-c1.scope
– firefox
– tmux
– bash
●
session-c2.scope
– schedule.sh
