An Approach to Internal Domain-Specific Languages in Java

An Approach to Internal Domain-Specific Languages in Java
from author of Fest-Assert [here, here].

P.S. Fest-Assert is good example of Internal DSL in Java. In some sence is competitor of Hamcrest.

P.P.S. Yeep, i like Internal DSL and wrote about it: here about ApacheCamel, here about Hamcrest.

Some numbers from Oracle

On the performance side, Oracle boasts that one rack can serve over 1M HTTP requests/s and can process over 1.8M Java messages/s.

Larry Ellison mentioned during Oracle OpenWorld keynote that China runs its entire railway ticketing system on one Exalogic and one could run the entire Facebook web layer on a couple of those

P.S. TPC from tpc.org is the most popular transaction performance test.

An Analysis of Linux Scalability to Many Cores

An Analysis of Linux Scalability to Many Cores

ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the scalability of seven system applications (Exim, memcached, Apache, PostgreSQL, gmake, Psearchy, and MapReduce) running on Linux on a 48-core computer. Except for gmake, all applications trigger scalability bottlenecks inside a recent Linux kernel. Using mostly standard parallel programming techniques — this paper introduces one new technique, sloppy counters — these bottlenecks can be removed from the kernel or avoided by changing the applications slightly. Modifying the kernel required in total 3002 lines of code changes. A speculative conclusion from this analysis is that there is no scalability reason to give up on traditional operating system organizations just yet.
