why spinlocks are not appropriate for single-processor systems yet are often used in multiprocessor systems ?

ANSWER:


Spinlocks are not appropriate for single-processor systems
because the condition that would break a process out of the spinlock
could be obtained only by executing a different process. If the process is
not relinquishing the processor, other processes do not get the opportunity to set the program condition required for the first process to make
progress. In a multiprocessor system, other processes execute on other
processors and thereby modify the program state in order to release the
first process from the spinlock.

why interrupts are not appropriate for implementing synchronization primitives in multiprocessor systems.


 ANSWER:
Interrupts are not sufficient in multiprocessor systems since
disabling interrupts only prevents other processes from executing on the
processor in which interrupts were disabled; there are no limitations on
what processes could be executing on other processors and therefore the
process disabling interrupts cannot guarantee mutually exclusive access
to program state.

8 common methods for server performance optimization

  1. Use an in-memory database In-memory database is actually a database that puts data in memory and operates directly. Compared with the disk, the data read and write speed of the memory is several orders of magnitude higher. Saving the data in the memory can greatly improve the performance of the application compared to accessing it from the disk. The memory database abandoned the traditional way of disk data management, redesigned the architecture based on all data in memory, and made corresponding improvements in data caching, fast algorithms, and parallel operations, so the data processing speed is faster than that of traditional databases. Data processing speed is much faster.       But the problem of security can be said to be the biggest flaw in the memory database. Because the memory itself has the natural defect of power loss, when we use the memory database, we usually need to take some protection mechanisms for the data on the memory in advance, such...
