system performance

Phoronix: While CentOS, Scientific Linux, and Oracle Linux Server are all derived from the same upstream source (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), how does the system performance compare between these RHEL derivatives

LinuxInsider: "Server virtualization for aggregation replaces the functionality of custom and proprietary chipsets with software and utilizes only a tiny fraction of a system's CPUs and RAM to provide chipset-level services without sacrificing system performance."

Phoronix: "Earlier this year we reviewed an Intel H55 motherboard and found it to perform well under Linux both in terms of compatibility with the latest Linux distributions at the time as well as the overall system performance with our slew of open-source benchmarks"

Good Gear Guide: "Advanced Micro Devices will put more focus on tightly integrating graphics processor cores into mainstream servers starting 2012 as it tries to increase system performance, a company executive said."

Linux Pro Magazine: "As I explained in the previous post, replacing my notebook's hard disk with an SSD significantly improved the overall system performance -- even without any additional tweaking.

But there are also a couple of simple tricks that can boost performance even further. "

PDFs, the file format often used for “official” documents and typically opened with the frustratingly slow Adobe Reader, are starting to get much more manageable, thanks to companies like Scribd and Docstoc, wh

Linux Magazine: "More performance: We add five file systems to our previous benchmark results to creating a 'uber' article on metadata file system performance."

More performance: We add five file systems to our previous benchmark results to creating a "uber" article on metadata file system performance.

We follow the "good" benchmarking guidelines presented in a previous article and examine the good, the bad and the interesting.

Phoronix: "Since we began benchmarking Btrfs a few months ago we have found it to not deliver any spectacular file-system performance results on Linux."

Phoronix: "Being the benchmarking junkies that we are, we have set out to compare the file-system performance of EXT4, Btrfs, and NILFS2 under Ubuntu using the Linux 2.6.30 kernel.

We also looked at how these file-systems compared to EXT3 and XFS."
