Performance analysis can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. When your application isn't running as fast as you'd like, where do you even begin to look? Is it a memory bottleneck? Are you stalling in the CPU's front-end? Answering these questions is critical, but traditional tools can be complex and overwhelming. This is where Intel's PerfSpect comes in. And now, thanks to some recent contributions, this powerful tool is no longer just for x86 systems. I'm h

Introduction Deploying web applications manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Automating the deployment process ensures consistency, reduces downtime, and improves efficiency. In this blog, we will explore how to automate web application deployment on AWS EC2 using GitHub Actions. By the end of this guide, you will have a fully automated CI/CD pipeline that pushes code from a GitHub repository to an AWS EC2 instance, ensuring smooth and reliable deployments. Prerequ

We conducted SPDK bdevperf tests on an AWS EC2 r8gd.metal-24xl instance, focusing on single CPU core performance under high I/O load. Our objective was to demonstrate a CPU-bound workload. Results show low I/O wait and high CPU utilization, confirming the CPU is the limiting factor. The 2-disk configuration achieved the highest throughput, indicating a CPU saturation point. 1. Performance Results Summary  (100-second duration) Below is a consolidated view of our 100-second bd

Operational Excellence for Service-Driven Enterprises As businesses increasingly deploy services and in production environments, the reliability and uptime of servers have become a critical need. These workloads are often hosted in hybrid setups, including dedicated data centers and public clouds, where even brief outages can impact performance, user trust, and business outcomes. To meet these demands, a dedicated Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team provides comprehensive

SPEC CPU2017 is a well-known benchmark suite for evaluating CPU-intensive performance. Although it assumes native compilation and execution, there are cases—especially with RISC-V (RV64) platforms—where cross-compilation is the only feasible route. This guide walks through the steps to cross-compile SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V, transfer the binaries to a target system, and optionally use the --fake option to simulate runs where execution isn't possible or needed during develop

The Problem statement: Our customer expressed their desire to know if Android (AOSP) was already ported by community to the RiscV platform and if we could provide a detailed summary of the current status of AOSP compilation/build and Qemu emulation progress for RiscV What have we accomplished in Part - I: We launched a Bare Metal instance on AWS Downloaded the AOSP source code Configured and built the binaries for AOSP RiscV What we plan to accomplish in Part - II: Install Cu

Goal of this project: This project aims to determine RISC-V's readiness for running YOLOX for the latest edge requirements. Target Application: Running YOLOX on RISC-V QEMU involves setting up a RISC-V virtual machine and then configuring the necessary environment to compile and run YOLOX. Please note that this is a complex process, and it's essential to have prior experience with virtualization and RISC-V development. From the RISCV website, this is a blog ( https://riscv.or
