    The 10 Most Influential CPUs of All Time

    The only solid use case I can think of for a cheap M1 Macbook is Excel. Performance is pretty decent compared to a noisy desktop especially in heavy multicore calculations and amazing for being fanless. I mostly use my MBA for watching movies.

    The 10 Most Influential CPUs of All Time

    That's funny. I've mostly been behind current CPU gens a lot coz of financial reasons. I had a 386DX-40 as a kid in 1993 and even being old at that point, it was still expensive. Went through 486DX2-66, Pentium 133 (or was it 120) non-MMX, Pentium II 350 MHz, Coppermine Celeron 700 (my first...

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    How about change the application queries so it knows from user ID which DB instance to send the request to? This way you never have to merge the data.

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    I know but I kinda like taking quick and dirty shortcuts :P

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    May help if the DB engine can't take maximum advantage of available threads. There are two databases in your case but still only one DB engine (the brains) that may or may not be maxing out the available hardware resources. Splitting them into four VMs would ensure that four DB engines are able...

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    How about create multiple DB instances under at least four VMs? Assign two to one CPU each. That way, your average resource utilization will go up and you may be able to get more performance out of the server without changing anything, other than pulling data from the four instances separately...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    @Tyler-98-W68 I appreciate the testing you have done. I always love new graphs and new data points to ponder over. There is no single answer for every use case when it comes to the best CPU. Compromises have to be made one way or the other. I have both Arrow Lake (245KF) and 9950X3D too. If I...

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    For best performance, use Process Lasso to ensure that the DB engine does not spawn any threads on the second CPU. If it does and the threads on different CPUs need to talk to each other, they will get hit with the horrendously high socket to socket latency. That's the simplest way to avoid...

    Database design optimization - MariaDB (MySQL)

    How much of that RAM gets consumed during the long running query? If not much, you could create a ramdrive using imdisk and copy everything needed for the query into a DB on the ramdrive. I tried this to benchmark SQL Server with HammerDB and got 10x more performance simply by virtue of the DB...

    If you had upgraded your RAM to 128GB, maybe AT could've hosted a skeleton website on your server :P
