Here’s the High Performance Block IO on Linux hacking session video. It’s based on my recent article about achieving 11M IOPS & 66 GB/s IO on a single ThreadRipper workstation. Enjoy! Towards the end of this video, I also explain how I got up to 11.5M IOPS without having to keep CPUs 100% busy, with batched I/O submission and completion checks I reduced the CPU usage pretty noticeably. Also, with properly configuring I/O polling queues in the Linux kernel, I got close to 10M IOPS by using...| tanelpoder.com

In this post I will show you how to break down Linux system load by the load contributor or reason. You can drill down into the “linux system load in thousands” and “high system load, but low CPU utilization” problem patterns too. Introduction - terminology Troubleshooting high system load on Linux Drilling down deeper - WCHAN Drilling down deeper - kernel stack How to troubleshoot past problems Summary Further reading Introduction - Terminology The system load metric aims to represen...| tanelpoder.com
