CodeIgniter: Using Data Abstraction Layer (DAL)

By -
I just wanted to show how we do using a DAL to separate database queries from application layer business logic.

What is Disk Contention?

By -
Okay, so let me take a note about this meaning... Disk contention occurs when multiple processes try to access the same disk simultaneously. Most disks have limits on both the number of accesses (I/O operations each second) and the amount of data they can transfer each second (I/O data rate, or  throughput ). When these limits are reached, processes must wait to access the disk. It's a situation occurring when multiple processes try to access the same disk(s) and the requests outrun the response times of the drive(s). This happens because most disks are restricted in the amount of data they can transfer and the number of accesses (I/O operations) they can handle each second. Disk contention became a more prominent problem when CPU speeds dramatically increased over the past 15 years, putting even greater demands on disk-based data storage and causing the modern data centers’ most significant operational constraint.

Converting sectors into MB - Useful in understanding the sectors in iostat in Linux

By -
Supposed you have a sector with 512 Bytes equivalent, then the formula will be just below 1 sect. 1024 Bytes 1024 KB --------- x ---------- x --------- = 2048 sect./ MB 512 Bytes 1 KB 1 MB i.e. if a sector has a 512 Bytes, commonly in a hard disk, so which means that a 1024 Bytes == 2 sector of a KiloByte. So if 2 sector is equivalent to a KiloByte (1024 Bytes), if you do the math, 2 ** 1024 / 512.0 = 2048. This is useful only understanding the iostat process in Linux.
