systemd Optimizations

So you are working on a Linux distribution or appliance and need very fast boot-ups?

systemd can already offer boot times of < 2s (userspace only, i.e. only the bits controlled by systemd) for complete up-to-date desktop environments on simpler (but modern, i.e. SSDs) laptops if configured properly (example: http://git.fenrus.org/tmp/bootchart-20120512-1036.svg). In this page we want to suggest a couple of ideas how to achieve that, and if the resulting boot times do not suffice where we believe room for improvements are that we'd like to see implemented sooner or later. If you are interested in investing engineering manpower in systemd to get to even shorter boot itmes, this list hopefully includes a few good suggestions to start with.

Of course, before optimizing you should instrument the boot to generate profiling data, so make sure you know your way around with bootchart, systemd-analyze and pytimechart! Optimizations without profiling are premature optimizations!

10 essential performance tips for MySQL

As with all relational databases, MySQL can prove to be a complicated beast, one that can crawl to a halt at a moment's notice, leaving your applications in the lurch and your business on the line.
The truth is, common mistakes underlie most MySQL performance problems. To ensure your MySQL server hums along at top speed, providing stable and consistent performance, it is important to eliminate these mistakes, which are often obscured by some subtlety in your workload or a configuration trap.

ConnMan 1.0 : CONNECTION MANAGER

ConnMan 1.0

Submitted by Patrik Flykt, updated on 10 May 2012 - 00:21 - 0 comments

Type:

• Release

ConnMan 1.0 was released on Tuesday, May 8th, 2012.
Starting with the 1.0 release ConnMan's APIs are now considered stable and maintained throughout the 1.x series. As the API is kept stable, applications written for 1.0 will continue working with every future 1.x release.
Without any further ado, let's quote the announcement from Marcel Holtmann:
Hello everyone,
I am more than pleased to announce the ConnMan 1.0 release. This is a big milestone for ConnMan and I am very proud of it.
Over the last years, we had 80 developers contributing to ConnMan and they have been added amazing features that make it clearly stand out.
With this I wanna especially thank Samuel Ortiz, Daniel Wagner and Patrik Flykt for doing an amazing job as maintainers.
I also wanna thank Jukka Rissanen and Tomasz Bursztyka for their great work with all the features and bugfixes that led to the 1.0 release. And of course everybody contributing patches and reporting bugs.
The ConnMan 1.0 release means that we from now on provide a stable D-Bus API. From now on, the API will only be extended and we will keep backward compatibility going forward.
ConnMan is a monolithic system that includes many features right out of the box without requirement of any external daemons or programs. These features include:

• Ethernet support
• WiFi support with WEP40/WEP128 and WPA/WPA2 (personal and enterprise)
• Bluetooth support (using BlueZ)
• GSM, UMTS, CDMA and LTE support (using oFono)
• IPv4, IPv4-LL (link-local) and DHCPIPv6, DHCPv6 and 6to4 tunnels
• Advanced routing and DNS configuration
• Built-in DNS proxy and intelligent caching
• Built-in WISPr hotspot logins and portal detection
• Time and timezone configuration (manual and automatic with NTP)
• Proxy handling (manual and automatic with WPAD)
• Connection Sharing/Tethering support (USB, Bluetooth and WiFi AP mode)
• Detailed statistics handling (home and roaming)
•

JSCheck

JSCheck is a testing tool for JavaScript. It was inspired by QuickCheck, a testing tool for Haskell developed by Koen Claessen and John Hughes of Chalmers University of Technology.
JSCheck is a specification-driven testing tool. From a description of the properties of a system, function, or object, it will generate random test cases attempting to prove those properties, and then report its findings. That can be especially effective in managing the evolution of a program because it can show the conformance of new code to old code. It also provides an interesting level of self-documentation, because the executable specifications it relies on can provide a good view of the workings of a program.
The JSCheck program is loaded from the jscheck.js file. It produces a single global variable, JSC, which contains the JSCheck object.
JSCheck is concerned with the specification and checking of claims. (We use the term claim instead of property to avoid confusion with JavaScript's use of property to mean a member of an object.) To create a claim, call JSC.claim, passing in

• A name, which is a description of the claim
• A predicate, which is a function that returns true when the claim holds
• An array of specifiers, which describe the types of the predicate's parameters
• Optionally, a classifier function that takes the same arguments as the predicate

JSC.claim returns a claim function, which may be passed as an argument to the JSC.check function, which will randomly generate the cases that will attempt to reject the claim. You can set the number of cases generated per claim with the JSC.reps function.

Simple, easy to use, very extendable Options framework for WP themes.

There are many great theme option frameworks out there already, like the Options Framework, and the UP Theme Framework. Which is great, alot of this frameworks ideas, and functionality has been built upon the knowledge gained from those frameworks. But neither of them provided me with the extendability i needed/wanted. What i really wanted to do was merge those frameworks and add a little spice. I wanted a few specific things that have been the core reason for this framework.

• Section Tabs - I wanted each settings section to have its own "tab" which can be clicked through.
• Use the WordPress Core Settings API - I wanted the settings to use the core WordPress functions for creating/editing settings (no point reinventing the wheel).
• Custom Error Handling - Inline with the custom tabs i wanted to be able to display error totals, and custom messages for each section/setting.
• Easily Extendable - I wanted to be able to extend the framework for custom use applications. For settings fields and custom validation.
• Customisable - I wanted to be able to customise the functionality, and style without hacking at the core.

This is why the NHP Theme Options Framework has been created. Every function/action can be customised, with more hook points and configuration options being added with every update.

Remote Config Files In CodeIgniter

I ran into a situation recently where I had multiple CodeIgniter apps which depended on the same config values. No problem, right? Just use a common third_party folder. That would work, except they were on different servers! My solution was to echo the config as JSON in one place, grab the JSON in other apps and load them as config values. Now you can do the same!

Making connection accept faster

Domas documented a few things we needed to fix to make MySQL faster at accepting connections. Someone new to the team, Yongqiang He, spent a few weeks implementing some of the suggestions and the results are great. The tests used one 24-core host for the clients and another for mysqld. The clients were split across 8 sysbench processes and used sysbench modified to only do connections. The tests were run in two configurations with thread_cache_size=2000 and then with thread_cache_size=0.

Cell Architectures

A consequence of Service Oriented Architectures is the burning need to provide services at scale. The architecture that has evolved to satisfy these requirements is a little known technique called the Cell Architecture.

A Cell Architecture is based on the idea that massive scale requires parallelization and parallelization requires components be isolated from each other. These islands of isolation are called cells. A cell is a self-contained installation that can satisfy all the operations for a shard. A shard is a subset of a much larger dataset, typically a range of users, for example.

Cell Architectures have several advantages:

• Cells provide a unit of parallelization that can be adjusted to any size as the user base grows.
• Cell are added in an incremental fashion as more capacity is required.
• Cells isolate failures. One cell failure does not impact other cells.
• Cells provide isolation as the storage and application horsepower to process requests is independent of other cells.
• Cells enable nice capabilities like the ability to test upgrades, implement rolling upgrades, and test different versions of software.
• Cells can fail, be upgraded, and distributed across datacenters independent of other cells.

A number of startups make use of Cell Architectures:

Ajax Framework For CodeIgniter

A very basic but powerful implementation of Ajax Framework that complements Codeigniter.

Download here:

Download From Google Code
Cjax Framework separates your ajax controllers from your regular controllers. While your normal controllers reside in application/controllers, your ajax controllers will reside in application/response.

Install

Download and unzip the Ajax Framework package, then just overwrite everything from the zip into your CodeIgniter base installation (will not replace any of your files)

Test

just go to:
http://yoursite.com/ajax.php?controller=test&function=test
(replace http://yoursite.com with the base directory where your CodeIgniter installation resides)
To this point you are done, successfully installing and using Cjax, if the test above prints “Ajax View..”. You can find this text inside file application/views/test.php, and its controller in application/response/test.php.

Friendly URLS

Full support for friendly URLS.
Friendly URLS are supported, but not required to use Cjax.
You may access your controllers in any of the following ways; these examples make use of controller file application/response/test.php.

//ajax.php?controller=$controller&function;=$functionajax.php?controller=test&function=test//ajax.php?$controller/$functionajax.php?test/test//ajax/$controller/$function
#This one requires mod_rewriteajax/test/test 

The last url above, will require you to enable mod_rewrite in your server and rename the accompanied file htaccess.txt File:htaccess.txt to .htacccess

Creating Controllers

Creating controllers works the same way as your regular controllers,  except the class name of ajax controller start with the keyword “controller_”. For example, if you want to create a controller named test,  then your class name would be “controller_test”.

Example

application/response/test.php

class controller_test extends CI_Controller {

    function test()
    {

    }

}

MooseFS

MooseFS is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as other Unix-alike file systems:

• A hierarchical structure (directory tree)
• Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times)
• Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets)
• Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS)
• Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password

Distinctive features of MooseFS are:

• High reliability (several copies of the data can be stored across separate computers)
• Capacity is dynamically expandable by attaching new computers/disks
• Deleted files are retained for a configurable period of time (a file system level "trash bin")
• Coherent snapshots of files, even while the file is being written/accessed

Adaptive Images detects your visitor's screen size and automatically creates, caches, and delivers device appropriate re-scaled versions of your web page's embeded HTML images. No mark-up changes needed. It is intended for use with Responsive Designs and to be combined with Fluid Image techniques.
Why? Because your site is being increasingly viewed on smaller, slower, low bandwidth devices. On those devices your desktop-centric images load slowly, cause UI lag, and cost you and your visitors un-necessary bandwidth and money. Adaptive Images fixes that

HOWTO create a Linux LiveCD

I’m working on a project that calls for a Linux LiveCD, so it can be booted off of a CD-ROM or USB drive, and not require any sort of permanent install to run. You’ve probably seen this in things like Ubuntu’s LiveCD where you can try the latest version without having to install it, or you can even install it from within the Live environment, but I’m not trying to do that. I just want a Linux environment running and providing DHCP and other network services for the network it finds itself on. While I found some great HOWTOs online, most were outdated, or just didn’t do all that I wanted, so it was time for a new one. Now, since this is going to target a server role I’m going to be kicking it with Debian, and they have a set of tools called Live Tools to assist in the building of a Debian LiveCD. This method requires working from an existing Debian instance, so get there, and then update your /etc/apt/sources.listto include the Live Tools
