Is it possible the solution was right there all along??

I've been on-and-off tweaking the #radar #scheduling #optimization #constraintprogramming #python #software project to include routing

I kept finding that routing takes longer to figure out than pure packing--no surprise.

But this was even the case when the constraints put on the routing were extremely minimal.

This made me wonder how much actual optimization was happening in the NON-routing case. As it turns out, none. If it doesn't have to do any work, it goes fast.

Sounds pretty obvious, but it's very helpful. Why? See next toot.

Using OR-Tools CP-SAT for Scheduling Problems

I’ve been working on improving how we schedule maintenance in Akamai’s cloud infrastructure, especially disruptive maintenance on hypervisor hosts serving hundreds of thousands of guest VMs. The problem is fairly complex, with competing constraints such as capacity, customer disruption SLAs, and concurrency limits across hosts, racks, and datacenters.

FediSuite

If you want to take your account seriously, you need consistency. But consistency does not mean sitting at your computer every evening to upload a photo. With FediSuite scheduling, you sit down once, write ten posts for the week and schedule them to the minute in your own timezone. In the background, workers reliably publish your posts on time, even if your instance is overloaded for a moment or a rate limit acts up. After that you can go back to living your life, instead of setting your alarm by your posting plan.

Wenn du deinen Account ernsthaft pflegen willst, brauchst du Regelmäßigkeit. Aber Regelmäßigkeit heißt nicht, dass du jeden Abend pünktlich am Rechner sitzen und ein Foto hochladen musst. Mit dem Scheduling von FediSuite setzt du dich einmal hin, schreibst zehn Beiträge für die Woche und planst sie minutengenau in deiner Zeitzone. Im Hintergrund laufen Worker, die deine Posts pünktlich rausschicken, auch wenn deine Instanz mal überlastet ist oder ein Rate-Limit zickt. Du kannst danach wieder dein Leben leben, statt deinen Wecker nach deinem Posting-Plan zu stellen.

Getting Started with .NET Scheduling in Hangfire
https://barretblake.dev/posts/development/2026/02/hangfire/ #dotnet #scheduling #hangfire

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.

It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

Debusine workflow performance issues

During March and April, we had a number of performance issues that made Debusine’s core functions of running work requests and reflecting their results in workflows quite unreliable. Investigating and fixing this took up a lot of time from both the Debusine development team and Freexian’s sysadmins. The central problems involved a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues that interacted in complex ways. On bad days, this caused between 10% and 25% of processed work requests to fail unnecessarily.

Ich muss mir unbedingt merken, dass die langsame Reaktion auf IPIs, die in QEMU KVM nicht über Hypercalls ausgelöst werden, die Performance katastrophal beeinträchtigen kann, wenn ich das nächste Mal einen Kernel mit QEMU als Zielsystem schreibe. Mir graut es davor, herauszufinden, ob QEMU MTTCG ähnlich betroffen ist, da es im Mainline-QEMU keine solche Hypercalls gibt.

I need to make a mental note of the fact that slow responsiveness to IPIs not issued via hypercall in qemu KVM can pathologically degrade performance for the next time I'm writing a kernel using qemu as a target system. I'm terrified of finding out whether qemu MTTCG is similarly affected, because it has no such hypercalls in mainline qemu.

🚨 Breaking News: #Meetings are the new project saviors! 🚨 Apparently, gathering a group of people to stare at each other once a week magically solves all long-term project woes. 🤔 Who knew that the secret to #productivity was more meetings? Clearly, the only thing standing between chaos and success is #scheduling yet another time suck—I mean, "forcing function." 🤦‍♂️
