Moving to Medium!

Ever since medium.com came, most of the people I know started to write blog posts in medium. So, I also wanted to try it out and see how it works!

My medium.com page is https://medium.com/@chrishantha/ and I already wrote one story in the last year.

I really liked the editor in Medium and I don't have to worry how my story will look when I publish it. This is the main problem I have with blogger. I have to "preview" my post to make sure it looks fine. Especially when I have code snippets. This is not really a problem of the Blogger platform. It's a problem as I use a third-party syntax highlighter.

I'm really disappointed that I didn't spend time to write more posts. My last blog post on Blogger was more than a year ago! There were many personal reasons for not writing blog posts. Anyway, now I want to start writing again and I will continue to write on Medium. I'm also planning to link my Medium stories from this blog.

Thank you for reading! :)

Finding how many processors

I wanted to find out the processor details in my laptop and I found out that there are several ways to check. For example, see The RedHat community discussion on  Figuring out CPUs and Sockets . In this blog post, I'm listing few commands to find out details about CPUs. I'm using Ubuntu in my Lenovo ThinkPad T530 laptop and following commands should be working any Linux system. Display information about CPU architecture $ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 58 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 1199.988 CPU max MHz: 3600.0000 CPU min MHz: 1200.0000 BogoMIPS: 5787.1...

Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder

Last year, I got two opportunities to talk about Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder. I first talked about " Using Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder " as an internal tech talk at WSO2 . I must thank Srinath for giving me that opportunity. After that, Prabath also invited me to do a talk at Java Colombo Meetup . Prabath, Thank you for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to talk at the Java Colombo Meetup! I'm also very excited to see that Marcus Hirt , the Team Lead for Java Mission Control has mentioned about the Java Colombo Meetup in his blog post: " My Favourite JMC Quotes ". It's so nice to see "Sri Lanka" was mentioned in his blog post! :) From Marcus' Blog Here are the slides used at the meetup. Java Colombo Meetup: Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder from Isuru Perera Marcus Hirt's blog posts really helped me to understand JMC & JFR concepts and his tutorials were very helpful...

Flame Graphs with Java Flight Recordings

Flame Graphs Brendon D. Gregg , who is a computer performance analyst , has created  Flame Graphs to visualize stack traces in an interactive way. You must watch his talk at USENIX/LISA13 , titled Blazing Performance with Flame Graphs , which explains Flame Graphs in detail. There can be different types of flame graphs and I'm focusing on  CPU Flame Graphs  with Java in this blog post. Please look at the Flame Graphs Description  to understand the Flame Graph visualization. CPU Flame Graphs and Java Stack Traces As  Brendon  mentioned in his talk, understanding why CPUs are busy is very important when analyzing performance.  CPU Flame Graphs  is a good way to identify hot methods from sampled stack traces. In order to generate CPU Flame Graphs for Java Stack Traces , we need a way to get sample stack traces. Brendon has given examples to use jstack  and Google's lightweight-java-profiler . Please refer to his perl program on g...
