    KUTrace: Where have all the nanoseconds gone? Richard Sites, Invited Professor EPFL 2017.10.27 Tracing Summit 2017, Prague Richard Sites 2017.10.27 Outline Observability problem statement KUTrace solution Tracing design goals Goals drive the design Results Display Design Comparisons Conclusions Richard Sites 2017.10.27 Observability problem statement Richard Sites 2017.10.27 3 Problem statement This talk is about tail latency in real user-facing datacenter transactions. It is not about batch processing throughput, nor about benchmarks. Context: A datacenter of perhaps 20,000 servers running software services that spread work for a user-facing transaction across a few hundred or thousand machines in parallel. Each server handles hundreds of transactions per second. Some transactions are unusually slow, but not repeatably. Slow transactions occur unpredictably, but there are several per minute. We wish to observe where all the time goes in such transactions, and observe why they are slow. Richard Sites 2017.10.27 Problem statement ☞ Some transactions are unusually slow, but not repeatably. ∴ There is some source of interference just before or during a slow transaction. Understanding tail latency requires complete traces of CPU events over a few minutes, with small enough CPU and memory overhead to be usable under busiest-hour live load. Existing tracing tools have much-too-high overhead. Problem: build better tail-latency observation tools Richard Sites 2017.10.27 KUTrace solution Richard Sites 2017.10.27 6 KUTrace solution KUTrace uses minimal Linux kernel patches on a single server to trace every transition between kernel- and user-mode execution, on every CPU core, with small enough overhead to use routinely on live loads.

A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8 Answer: C Explanation: SCSI-1 support total 7 peripherals. There are several different types of SCSI devices. The original SCSI specification is commonly referred to as SCSI-1. The newer specification, SCSI-2, offers increased speed and performance, as well as new commands. Fast SCSI increases throughput to more than 10MB per second. Fast-Wide SCSI provides a wider data path and throughput of up to 40MB per second and up to 15 devices. There there are Ultra-SCSI and Ultra-Wide-SCSI QUESTION NO: 3 You need to install a fax server.

  • Debugging Kernel Problems
    Debugging Kernel Problems by GregLehey Edition for AsiaBSDCon 2004 Taipei, 13 March 2004 Debugging Kernel Problems by GregLehey([email protected]) Copyright © 1995-2004 GregLehey 3Debugging Kernel Problems Preface Debugging kernel problems is a black art. Not manypeople do it, and documentation is rare, in- accurate and incomplete. This document is no exception: faced with the choice of accuracyand completeness, I chose to attempt the latter.Asusual, time was the limiting factor,and this draft is still in beta status. This is a typical situation for the whole topic of kernel debugging: building debug tools and documentation is expensive,and the people who write them are also the people who use them, so there'satendencytobuild as much of the tool as necessary to do the job at hand. If the tool is well-written, it will be reusable by the next person who looks at a particular area; if not, it might fall into disuse. Consider this book a starting point for your own develop- ment of debugging tools, and remember: more than anywhere else, this is an area with ``some as- sembly required''. Debugging Kernel Problems 4 1 Introduction Operating systems fail. All operating systems contain bugs, and theywill sometimes cause the system to behave incorrectly.The BSD kernels are no exception. Compared to most other oper- ating systems, both free and commercial, the BSD kernels offer a large number of debugging tools. This tutorial examines the options available both to the experienced end user and also to the developer. In this tutorial, we’ll look at the following topics: • Howand whykernels fail.

  • Tigersharc DSP Hardware Specification, Revision 1.0.2, Direct Memory Access
    7 DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS Figure 7-0. Table 7-0. Listing 7-0. Overview Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a mechanism for transferring data with- out core being involved. The TigerSHARC® DSP’s on-chip DMA controller relieves the core processor of the burden of moving data between internal memory and an external device, external memory, or between link ports and internal or external memory. The fully-integrated DMA controller allows the TigerSHARC® DSP core processor, or an external device, to specify data transfer operations and return to normal processing while the DMA controller carries out the data transfers in the background. The TigerSHARC® DSP DMA competes with other masters for internal memory access. For more information, see “Architecture and Microarchi- tecture Overview” on page 6-7. This conflict is minimized due to the large internal memory bandwidth that is available. The DMA includes 14 DMA channels, four of which are dedicated to external memory devices, eight to link ports, and two to AutoDMA registers. TigerSHARC DSP Hardware Specification 7 - 1 Overview Figure 7-1 shows a block diagram of the TigerSHARC® DSP’s DMA controller. TRANSMITTER RECEIVER TCB TCB REGISTERS REGISTERS Internal DMA DMA CONTROLLER Bus Requests Interface Figure 7-1. DMA Block Diagram Data Transfers — General Information The DMA controller can perform several types of data transfers: • Internal memory ⇒ external memory and memory-mapped periph- erals • Internal memory ⇒ internal memory of other TigerSHARC® DSPs residing on the cluster bus • Internal memory ⇒ host processor • Internal memory ⇒ link port I/O • External memory ⇒ external peripherals 7 - 2 TigerSHARC DSP Hardware Specification Direct Memory Access • External memory ⇒ internal memory • External memory ⇒ link port I/O • Link port I/O ⇒ internal memory • Link port I/O ⇒ external memory • Cluster bus master via AutoDMA registers ⇒ internal memory Internal-to-internal memory transfers are not directly supported.
