Chasing Bottlenecks
by Morgan Tocker
Description:
The best way to performance tune a system is to find out what your bottlenecks are, and attacking those first. In the first part of this session, I'll be looking at some of the issues faced with common database workloads. From there, I'll then be showing how you can get more information out of MySQL and your Operating System to find out about your workload. This session is designed for beginner to intermediate MySQL users.
So I got my hands on an HP mini 1000 last week. Not bad for $250 at Best Buy, although it has needed some help, namely:
- External USB hard drive - I got the Mini 1000 that comes with a 16 Gb SSD, and want this to be my primary computer (I'm not a gamer, just web surfing and *occasional* video editing). I bought a 320Gb Buffalo Mini Station, for about $60 at Microcenter.
- 2 Gb RAM - already had a stick, free for me (otherwise $20), easy to pop in.
- USB to VGA adapter - HP has a nice proprietary VGA port, to which they didn't have an adapter for a long time (6 months or so)....now, the adapters exist, but they're out of stock. I bought a USB to VGA adaptor at Microcenter for about $70.
