Making the Operation of Code More Transparent and Obvious with SystemTap

William Cohen

You can study source code and manually instrument functions as described in the “Use the dynamic tracing tools, Luke” blog article, but why not make it easier to find key points in the software by adding user-space markers to the application code? User-space markers have been available in Linux for quite some time (since 2009). The inactive user-space markers do not significantly slow down the code. Having them available allows you to get a more accurate picture of what the...

Manage resources for HPC workloads with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® has a kernel feature called control groups, or cgroups. This feature allows you to allocate resources–such as CPU time, system memory, network bandwidth, or a combination of these resources–among user-defined processes. This feature is also used to implement Linux containers. See how system administrators can gain fine-grained control over system resources and divide them among tasks and users, thus increasing overall system efficiency.
