- Posted on Friday May 12, 2017Call forwarding is useful if you are expected to be unavailable for receiving calls or lose cell phone coverage for some time. Call forwarding is not something that is "new" to modern phones. It is a feature which is invented in 1960s (the patent expired in 1980) of some telephone switching systems. But with iPhone/iOS, there is a convenient call forwarding feature in iOS for you to set up call forwarding to forward calls to a landline or other phone by its number or disable the call forwarding. » Read more Continue Reading »
- Posted on Thursday April 20, 2017HTML supports many characters/symbols such as mathematical symbols, and currency symbols. They are not present on a normal keyboard. And some of these characters may have special meanings for formatting text. To add such characters / symbols to an HTML text, you can use an HTML entity name or an entity number in decimal or hexadecimal. This post list many special Characters in HTML as a friendly reference. » Read more Continue Reading »
- Posted on Tuesday April 18, 2017From a small business owner, a blogger, a student or individual with a personal project, the need to create websites has never been more prominent. Having a basic understanding of HTML and canvas knowledge can be helpful, and it is simple to master. The thought of learning to code and programming may seem a long and daunting task, but some people may be surprised to know that it need not be as scary as it sounds. » Read more Continue Reading »
- Posted on Saturday April 15, 2017This post introduces how to install a paravirtualized CentOS 7 DomU on Xen. The very common way of installing DomU does not work for CentOS 7. A little trick to set the repository and the network used by the VM should be used by adding a setting strings to the “extra=” field for this VM. To install the DomU VM, first download the pxeboot images from CentOS’s official website at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/. » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Saturday March 18, 2017Building Linux kernel may sound a complex and geek-only thing. However, as Linux kernel itself has much less depended tools/packages compared to other software packages, it is quite easy to compile, build and install a Linux kernel from the source code in an existing Linux OS. Building Linux kernel is needed if you need to build a specific Linux kernel or update your drivers for a kernel by yourself. » Read more Continue Reading »

In today’s time, data visualization has become a significant part of the success story of an organization. With the help of right techniques, visualizing data can reveal insights which the management staff can use in their decision-making in order to make sound data-driven decisions. Mapping software is among the robust data visualization tools that you can avail today. With maps, you can find stories, trends, and insights that cannot be found in spreadsheets. » Read more Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday February 14, 2017Motivation Recently, I find it is hard to know the percentage of time that one process uses to wait for synchronous I/O (eg, read, etc). One way is to use the taskstats API provided by Linux Kernel [1]. However, for this way, the precision may be one problem. With this problem, I dig into Linux Kernel source codes to see how “blkio_delay_total” (Delay time waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete) is calculated. » Read more Continue Reading »

Making a career choice is difficult. And, if you have decided on becoming a programmer, the difficulty is just beginning. The most important thing is to first decide the language that you want to learn and this is often the most difficult decision. The good part is that you know you need to focus on learning programming and the bad part is that you might still be thinking which programming language should you begin to learn. » Read more Continue Reading » - Posted on Saturday December 31, 2016There are many Vim tutorials and Vim tips on the Web.

- Posted on Saturday December 17, 2016Abstract In systems, sometimes, we use one global lock to keep synchronization among different threads. This principle also happens in QEMU/KVM (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) system. However, this may cause lock contention problem. The performance/scalability of whole system will be decreased. In order to solve this problem in QEMU/KVM, x-data-plane feature is designed/implemented, which the high-level idea is “I/O requests are handled by dedicated IOThread rather than QEMU main loop threads so that it will not have lock contention among I/O threads and other QEMU main loop threads”. » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Thursday December 01, 2016Abstract Currently, the most famous process scheduling algorithm in Linux Kernel is Completely Fair Scheduling (CFS) algorithm. The core idea of CFS is to let each process share the same proportional CPU resources to run so that it is fair to each process. In this article, I will introduce how sched_min_granularity_ns and sched_latency_ns work internal CFS to affect the timeslice of processes. » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Saturday November 19, 2016Abstract In computer systems, resources have to be balanced so that the performance will be better based on the same hardware. In Linux Kernel system, we will see some migration kernel threads running as daemons to do this kind of jobs as follows. In this article, we will discuss how Linux Kernel balances its hardware/software resources (NOTE: this article is based on Linux Kernel 4.7 and other versions may have some differences). » Read more Continue Reading »
- Posted on Wednesday November 09, 2016Abstract Sometimes, we may want to migrate one process/thread to one specific CPU for some specific purpose. In the Unix/Linux systems, you may choose sched_setaffinity to finish this job. This article will help you to understand how sched_setaffinity (or other APIs like pthread_setaffinity_np in user-space) works internal Linux kernel. Details -- sched_setaffinity(pid_t pid, const struct cpumask *in_mask) --- __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const struct cpumask *new_mask, bool check) ---- stop_one_cpu(unsigned int cpu, cpu_stop_fn_t fn, void *arg) ----- migration_cpu_stop(void *data) ------ __migrate_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu) ------- move_queued_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int new_cpu) -------- enqueue_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) --------- returns the new run queue of destination CPU Above character steps give a workflow of how sched_setaffinity works (how it migrates one process/thread from the run queue of source CPU to the run queue of destination CPU). » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Monday June 26, 2017In summary, Samba writes are async by default. But the behavior is configurable. Here is a great summary by Eric Roseme. Samba defaults to asynchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, then returns to processing. Buffer is flushed to disk later. This is the most efficient behavior. Windows CreateFile API has the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, which requests synchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, blocks until buffer contents are written to disk, which results in poor performance, but better data integrity. When "strict sync = yes" (default = no) Samba honors the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, and results in Continue Reading »
- Posted on Sunday June 25, 2017You may use the tool split to split a file by sizes. An example to split a large.tgz to at most 8GB smaller files is as follows. split -b 8G large.tgz large.tgz.part-The split files names are the prefix with appendix like 'aa', 'ab', 'ac' as follows. $ ll -h total 35G -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 18G Jun 25 10:57 large.tgz -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 8.0G Jun 25 12:10 large.tgz.part-aa -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 8.0G Jun 25 12:15 large.tgz.part-ab -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 1.2G Jun Continue Reading »
- Posted on Friday June 23, 2017Each file and each block has around 150 bytes of metadata on NameNode. So you may do the calculation based on this. For examples, assume block size is 64MB, 100 million 1MB files (100TB in total) will have metadata of (100 million blocks) 100M * 150B + 100M * 150B = 30GB1 million 64GB files (64PB in total, assume HDFS can scale to this large) will have metadata of 1M * 150B + 64GB/64MB * 150B = 330MBSo, you also get the idea that HDFS does need lots memory on the NameNode to handle many small files Continue Reading »
