Introduction: Cloud bursting is an application deployment model in which an application runs in a private cloud or data center and bursts into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes. The advantage of such a hybrid cloud deployment is that an organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are needed.

Introduction: Many organizations are facing the challenge of migrating their IT to the cloud. But not many know how to actually approach this undertaking. In my previous post I took a hands-on example of SpringSource’s PetClinic reference application with a Tomcat web server front-end and a Cassandra NoSQL database backend and showed how to onboard it to the cloud in a manageable fashion. But many think this methodology is only good for modern applications that were built with some dynamic/cloud orientation in mind. For example, how different would the cloud on-boarding process be if I modify my PetClinic example to use a MySQL relational database instead of the modern Cassandra NoSQL clustered database? In this blog post I intend to show that cloud on-boarding of brownfield applications doesn’t have to be a huge monolithic migration project with high risk. Cloud on-boarding can take the pragmatic approach and can be performed in a gradual process that both mitigates the risk and enables you t

Introduction: This is a guest post by Shawn Hsiao , Luke Massa , and Victor Luu . Shawn runs TripAdvisor ’s Technical Operations team, Luke and Victor interned on his team this past summer. This post is introduced by Andy Gelfond , TripAdvisor’s head of engineering. It's been a little over a year since our last post about the TripAdvisor architecture . It has been an exciting year. Our business and team continues to grow, we are now an independent public company, and we have continued to keep/scale our development process and culture as we have grown - we still run dozens of independent teams, and each team continues to work across the entire stack. All that has changed are the numbers: 56M visitors per month 350M+ pages requests a day 120TB+ of warehouse data running on a large Hadoop cluster, and quickly growing We also had a very successful college intern program that brought on over 60 interns this past summer, all who were quickly on boarded and doing the same kind of work a

Introduction: It remains that, from the same principles, I now demonstrate the frame of the System of the World. -- Isaac Newton The practice of IT reminds me a lot of the practice of science before Isaac Newton. Aristotelianism was dead, but there was nothing to replace it. Then Newton came along, created a scientific revolution with his System of the World . And everything changed. That was New System of the World number one. New System of the World number two was written about by the incomparable Neal Stephenson in his incredible Baroque Cycle series. It explores the singular creation of a new way of organizing society grounded in new modes of thought in business, religion, politics, and science. Our modern world emerged Enlightened as it could from this roiling cauldron of forces. In IT we may have had a Leonardo da Vinci or even a Galileo, but we’ve never had our Newton. Maybe we don't need a towering genius to make everything clear? For years startups, like the frenetically inventive

Introduction: The Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group had a meetup Wednesday on OpenStack , whose tag line is the open source, open standards cloud . I was shocked at the large turnout. 287 people registered and it looked like a large percentage of them actually showed up. I wonder, was it the gourmet pizza, the free t-shirts, or are people really that interested in OpenStack? And if they are really interested, why are they that interested? On the surface an open cloud doesn't seem all that sexy a topic, but with contributions from NASA, from Rackspace, and from a very avid user community, a lot of interest there seems to be. The brief intro blurb to OpenStack is: OpenStack allows any organization to create and offer cloud computing capabilities using open source software running on standard hardware. OpenStack Compute is software for automatically creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers. OpenStack Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage

Is Cloud Computing going to follow the same path? As a technology strategist I have the benefit of frequently speaking with other CIO’s on the topic of Cloud Computing. Often those discussions are in context to how they can leverage SpringCM’ s easy, fast and affordable cloud Enterprise Content Management (ECM) services. But those conversations are done in context to the overall strategy and reality that the modern CIO will use a combination of cloud offerings to solve business problems today. Some of those services will be internally provided (Private Cloud), and many more will be outside the traditional corporate domain, also known as Public Cloud services. What options do I have?

Introduction: This question comes from Ulysses on an interesting thread from the Mechanical Sympathy news group, especially given how multiple processors are now the norm: Ulysses: On an 8xCPU Linux instance, is it at all advantageous to use the Linux taskset command to pin an 8xJVM process set (co-ordinated as a www.infinispan.org distributed cache/data grid) to a specific CPU affinity set (i.e. pin JVM0 process to CPU 0, JVM1 process to CPU1, ...., JVM7process to CPU 7) vs. just letting the Linux OS use its default mechanism for provisioning the 8xJVM process set to the available CPUs? In effrort to seek an optimal point (in the full event space), what are the conceptual trade-offs in considering "searching" each permutation of provisioning an 8xJVM process set to an 8xCPU set via taskset? Given taskset is they key to the question, it would help to have a definition: Used to set or retrieve the CPU affinity of a running process given its PID or to launch a new COMMAND with

Introduction: In the never ending quest to figure out how to do something useful with never ending streams of data, GraphLab: A New Framework For Parallel Machine Learning wants to go beyond low-level programming, MapReduce, and dataflow languages with a new parallel framework for ML (machine learning) which exploits the sparse structure and common computational patterns of ML algorithms. GraphLab enables ML experts to easily design and implement efficient scalable parallel algorithms by composing problem specific computation, data-dependencies, and scheduling . Our main contributions include: A graph-based data model which simultaneously represents data and computational dependencies. A set of concurrent access models which provide a range of sequential-consistency guarantees. A sophisticated modular scheduling mechanism. An aggregation framework to manage global state. From the abstract: Designing and implementing efficient, provably correct parallel machine lear

5 0.91464263 1218 high scalability-2012-03-29-Strategy: Exploit Processor Affinity for High and Predictable Performance
Introduction: Martin Thompson wrote a really interesting article on the beneficial performance impact of taking advantage of Processor Affinity : The interesting thing I've observed is that the unpinned test will follow a step function of unpredictable performance. Across many runs I've seen different patterns but all similar in this step function nature. For the pinned tests I get consistent throughput with no step pattern and always the greatest throughput. The idea is by assigning a thread to a particular CPU that when a thread is rescheduled to run on the same CPU, it can take advantage of the "accumulated state in the processor, including instructions and data in the cache." With multi-core chips the norm now, you may want to decide for yourself how to assign work to cores and not let the OS do it for you. The results are surprisingly strong.
