NEWS


ARTICLES AND TUTORIALS

Carlos Manzanedo Rueda and Arthur Petitpierre from AWS will be in London and are planning to run a "Meet the EC2/Performance expert" session on upcoming August 1st.

Here's the description of the session:

Getting the best compute performance is a bit of an art, and knowing about low level details can help a lot. This session will provide a small group an opportunity to talk to EC2 Specialist and Performance experts. They will cover all the details you’ve always wanted to know about, such as memory topology, how to get access to hardware counters, how to take into account the side-effects of hyperthreading, and how to properly run performance tests and optimize your latency. The session will help attendees to build a mental model on modern compute and EC2 differentiators and best practices on how to use tools like aperf and techniques like Utilization Saturation and Errors (USE), Top-down Microarchitecture analysis (TMA) and what are the actionable things that you can do as a developer in the iterative cycle of performance tuning.

Feel free to reach Carlos on LinkedIn on this post
