Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Get the JDK source (per the OpenJDK instructions):

hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/portola/portola
cd portola
bash ./get_source.sh

You need an existing Alpine with an already-built JDK. I have a Docker image of Alpine with glibc-based Zulu JDK:

Docker stats collection for collectd

This script can be used to feed collectd with cpu and memory usage statistics for running docker containers using the collectd exec plugin.

This script will report the used and cached memory as well as the user and system cpu usage by inspecting the appropriate cgroup stat file for each running container.

Usage

This script is intented to be executed by collectd on a host with running docker containers. To use, simply configure the exec plugin in collectd to execute the collectd-docker.sh script. You may need to adjust the script to match your particulars, such as the mount location for cgroup.

Namespace Management (DRAFT)

Purpose

This document describes the guidelines for managing two important namespaces: the package scala._, and the Maven group org.scala-lang.

These questions become more important as we modularize the distribution, and as we publish new modules (such as ScalaJS, scala-async, scala-pickling.)
