IO Cost Structure – Anticipating SSD arrays (1)

SQLblog.com - The SQL Server blog spot on the web (13) permalink
An observant person has probably noticed that SQL queries requiring disk reads not only have longer duration but also higher CPU times. It is not hard then to deduce that disk access (for both HDD and SSD), which involves the OS performing an IO call, the SQL Server process finding a place in the buffer cache for the data pages, and possibly evicting current pages from the buffer cache, has significant CPU cost. What then ...Shared by Will Harris (0)Contribute comment -

Google's Android Market: Cathedral Or Bazaar? (56)
onGoogle has revealed the Android Market, a software distribution channel for deploying third-party Android applications. Unlike conventional Linux package management systems, however, Android Market is a highly centralized system with a single point of failure, and a single point of control. Ars looks at the details revealed so far and wonders if it is a cathedral or a bazaar.Read More...Shared by adam (1) Adam Maldonado (182) Adam McDonald (8) Aelle (27) Alex France (116) Alexander13 (76) Allan Haggett (20) Ananya Walia (198) Andrew Hughes (53) Andrew Schott (53) Arne (12) Avi (9) b (6) badpazzword (0) Ben (3) brad (10) catt avery (6) clementi (24) craig (0) digits12 (339) dobata (234) Doo Sun Chung (5) Doug Adams (8) Eleftherios Kosmas (2) Eli (9) Engin (0) evo (2) Guy (80) Hassan (16) Jamie McGibbon (43) Jason Remnant (9) Javier (22) Jeff Rasmussen (42) Josh Chandler (26) Kate (105) Martin Eberhardt (6) metaeuphoria (0) Michael Mior (67) Narayan (22) Nate (31) nuevecolas (7) pericles (359) Philip Campbell (91) Rich Karpinski (0) Ritu (519) Rob (3) scott anderson (3) SD (28) Sun Tzu (553) Syng Shin (20) time (19) timedalkat (20) Tyson Williams (60) webtime (325) Who Knows?

- Patric said: OWNED!
- Clint Ecker said: I am so screwed.
- Robert Couture said: It is better that they are upfront with this. Additionally, that 250GB cap should be unrestricted.

Clock Drift in Virtualization (1)

John gave a really interesting talk about implementing virtualization and many of the benefits and pitfalls that you might encounter. Most of the content was review for me, but the one concept that was new was a biggee - clock drift. Clock ...Shared by Will Harris (0)Contribute comment

I liked what the site offered, as I was introduced to a new artist through a link to its page on Muxtape. Ended up purchasing several songs on Amazon MP3, too. Still, if they didn't get permission, they were bound to get shut down eventually.
