CDN explained & expounded
A content delivery network or content
distribution network (CDN) is a system of
computers containing copies of data placed at
various nodes of a network.
* The optimal number is somewhere between 1 and 5 hosts (1 main host plus 4
hosts on which to parallelize cacheable resources). As a rule of thumb, you
shouldn't use more than 1 host for fewer than 6 resources; fewer than 2
resources on a single host is especially wasteful. It should never be necessary
to use more than 5 hosts (not counting hosts serving resources over which you
have no control, such as ads). (source: Google Page Speed)

Speed Up WordPress Websites - Part 1 - WordPress Cairo Meetup

Ahmed Mohammed Nagdy

Speeding up a WordPress site involves optimizing images, using a content delivery network (CDN) to improve load times, selecting fast hosting, and implementing caching. Page speed is important for user experience and retention - users leave sites that take over 4 seconds to load. Optimizing images reduces file sizes while maintaining quality. A CDN stores content on globally distributed servers to deliver pages faster. Caching saves page content for quick retrieval to improve load times.

6 sigma

Roy Antony Arnold G

Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to process improvement originally developed by Motorola. It aims to reduce process variation and defects through the DMAIC methodology of define, measure, analyze, improve, and control. Key roles include Champions, Master Black Belts, Black Belts and Green Belts who work on projects to close the gap between current and six sigma performance of 3.4 defects per million opportunities. While an effective quality improvement strategy, some criticize Six Sigma for overselling by consultants and an overemphasis on short-term goals over disruptive innovation.

Software reliability engineering process

Himanshu

The document outlines the software reliability engineering (SRE) process. It defines software reliability as the ability of a system to perform without failure under specified conditions for a given time period. The SRE process involves 6 steps: 1) listing systems to test, 2) developing operational profiles, 3) defining acceptable reliability levels, 4) preparing tests, 5) executing tests, and 6) guiding the testing and release process. The goal is to measure, predict, and manage reliability through statistical modeling from the customer's perspective of minimizing failures.

Reliability growth models

Roy Antony Arnold G

This document discusses software reliability growth models. It summarizes several key models: 1) The Jelinski-Moranda model assumes random failures, perfect fixes, and all faults contribute equally to failures. 2) The Littlewood models are similar but assume bigger faults are found first. 3) The Goel-Okumoto imperfect debugging model allows for imperfect fixes, where new defects may be introduced when fixing others. It also briefly discusses other models like the Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process model and Delayed S and Inflection S models.

Software and Hardware Reliability

Sandeep Patalay

Software and hardware reliability are defined differently. Software reliability is the probability that software will operate as required for a specified time in a specified environment without failing, while hardware reliability tends towards a constant value over time and usually follows the "bathtub curve". Ensuring reliability involves testing like fault tree analysis, failure mode effects analysis, and environmental testing for hardware, and techniques like defensive programming, fault detection and diagnosis, and error detecting codes for software. Reliability is measured through metrics like time to failure and failure rates over time.

Chapter 7 software reliability

despicable me

The document discusses concepts related to software reliability. It describes how software reliability is modeled using a "bathtub curve" with two phases - an initial high failure rate period and a useful life period with an approximately constant failure rate. The document defines software reliability and discusses factors that influence it like faults in the software and the execution environment. It also outlines various ways of characterizing software failures over time and presents models of failure probability distributions. Finally, it discusses uses of reliability studies and defines software quality in terms of attributes like reliability, correctness and maintainability.

Software Reliability

Gurkamal Rakhra

Software reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free operation of software over a specified time period and environment. Key factors influencing reliability include fault count, which is impacted by code size/complexity and development processes, and operational profile, which describes how users operate the system. Software reliability methodologies aim to improve dependability through fault avoidance, tolerance, removal, and forecasting, with the latter using models to predict reliability mathematically based on factors like time between failures or failure counts.

Software reliability

Anand Kumar

The document discusses software reliability and reliability growth models. It defines software reliability and differentiates it from hardware reliability. It also describes some commonly used software reliability growth models like Musa's basic and logarithmic models. These models make assumptions about fault removal over time to predict how failure rates will change as testing progresses. The key challenges with models are uncertainty and accurately estimating their parameters.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of Time

Aurora Consulting

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing Systems

ScyllaDB

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

1. WordPress Performance Timothy Wood @codearachnid www.ImagineSimplicity.com || www.codearachnid.com

2. How do you percieve performance?

3. Change behavior to influence perception Percieved Performance: Actual Performance: Responsive ● Optimize ● Feedback ● Cache ● Progressive ● Minimize ● Escape or Distract ● Workflow ● Describe

4. Low hanging fruit for WordPress: ● Frontend ○ Minimize ○ Sprites ● Caching ○ Asset delivery ○ Chunking ● Application ○ Theme ○ Plugins ● Server Setups ○ OS choice & tweaking

5. Battle of the brawn ● Process based ● Event based ● Req increase RAM ● RAM use is stable ● Gobs of features ● Speed > features ● More use cases ● no .htaccess Like Apache, Nginx has all the features you would expect from a leading Web server. It is stable, secure and very easy to configure.

6. Real world comparisons: 9794 req/5 min 32 req/second Only site on fresh VPS install, with minimal graphics, scripts, css. 17479 req/5 min 60 req/second One of several sites on VPS, photographer portofolio, heavy Stress tests by http://loadimpact.com graphics, minimal scripts & css.

7. Real world comparisions (cont.):

8. But wait... There's more! - WP Plugin: nginx Compatibility - Pretty URLS: /etc/nginx/sites-available/nginx.conf if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^ /index.php last; } Performance

9. Tips for optimizing application layer Theme: Plugins: ● Simplify & Reduce ● Delete Unused ● Combine Functionality ● Keep Code Updated ● Avoid Bad Plugins ● Repair MySQL DB ● Log Slow Queries ● Move CSS to top & Javascript to bottom

10. Caching with static content + CDN Plugins: Benefit: ● W3TC ● At least 10x improvement in site ● WP Super Cache performance ● Hyper Cache ● “Instant” second page ● DB Cache Reloaded views ● Reduced page load time ● Improved web server CDN: performance ● Amazon S3 & ● Up to 80% Bandwidth Cloudfront savings

11. W3 Total Cache (setup walkthrough) 1. Sign-up for Amazon S3 & Cloudfront 2. Install W3 Total Cache Plugin within WordPress 3. Follow W3 Total Cache Instructions within WordPress admin panel 4. Log in to Cloudfront control panel and create a Distribution for your newly created bucked

12. CDN explained & expounded A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers containing copies of data placed at various nodes of a network. * The optimal number is somewhere between 1 and 5 hosts (1 main host plus 4 hosts on which to parallelize cacheable resources). As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't use more than 1 host for fewer than 6 resources; fewer than 2 resources on a single host is especially wasteful. It should never be necessary to use more than 5 hosts (not counting hosts serving resources over which you have no control, such as ads). (source: Google Page Speed)

13. Interface polish & performance ● Yslow, Page Speed, Speed Tracer ● Minify and combine all CSS and JavaScript ● gZip, image sprites, smush.it ● Cleanup your markup ● Improve wait messaging
