Slow query in production, bad plan or stale index?

I’ve just fixed a production performance issue by dropping an index and recreate it. I suspect dropping the index also dropped executions plans that used it and one of them happen to be bad.

Arguments in favor of bad execution plan :

  • Before dropping the indexe, I looked up the last update date for the statistics on the given table and they were up to date.
  • My DBA has put in place Hallengren’s index and statistic maintenance solution
  • The slow query was a select statement executed from sp_executesql with dates parameters. Executing the same select statement without sp_executesql was fast, but also didn’t use the same execution plan.

Arguments against bad execution plan :

  • Before dropping the indexe, we went real wild and runned the forbidden dbcc freeproccache to clear any bad plan, but this didn’t fix or change the performance issue.

Note:

  • The slow query happen to be using a table indexed by date. However, there is wide differences in the amount of records for each date. In other word, any given date range from few records to more than 100k and it is pretty random.

  • The database is running under compatibility level 140 (SQL Server 2017)

Was the source of the problem a bad plan or a stale indexe?

Slow transfer speeds on external USB SSD hard drive?

I recently bought a Samsung Exernal SSD T5 for storing backups with Ubuntu’s built Deja Dup backup tool, and I’m finding it’s performance is terrible. Samsung advertises it as having “the T5 provides transfer speeds of up to 540 MB/s*, that’s up to 4.9x faster than external HDDs”, but the real world performance isn’t anywhere close to this.

Using the command provided in this answer, I’m monitoring the transfer progress of several large files. One file, called duplicity-full-signatures.20190720T075111Z.sigtar.gz is 648 MB in size and the tool is saying the ETA for transfer completion is in 5 hours!

Am I missing something here? Shouldn’t a drive with transfer speeds up 540 MB/s be able to have a 648 MB file transferred to it in 648 / 540 = 1.2 seconds? I realize they said “up to” and other resource draws on my computer will cause the actual transfer speed to be well below that that…but not by 5 hours.

Other than Samsung being outright frauds, what would the reason be for these slow transfer times? I formatted the drive in Ext4 with encryption. Is there a different format I should use to speed things up? Are there any other system-wide changes I could make to speed up the deja-dup/duplicity process without making my system unusable during the backup?

Why is my image convolution funciton so slow?

I wasn’t sure if I should post this on the machine learning board or this one, but I chose this one since my problem has more to do with optimization. I am trying to build a YOLO model from scratch in python, but each convolution operation takes 10 seconds. Clearly I am doing something wrong, as YOLO is supposed to be super fast (able to produce results real-time). I don’t need the network to run real-time, but it will be a nightmare trying to train it if it takes several hours to run on one image. Please help me!

Here is my convolution function:

def convolve(image, filter, stride, modifier):     new_image = np.zeros ([image.shape[0], _round((image.shape[1]-filter.shape[1])/stride)+1, _round((image.shape[2]-filter.shape[2])/stride)+1], float)      #convolve     for channel in range (0, image.shape[0]):         filterPositionX = 0         filterPositionY = 0         while filterPositionX < image.shape[1]-filter.shape[1]+1:             while filterPositionY < image.shape[2]-filter.shape[2]+1:                 sum = 0                 for i in range(0,filter.shape[1]):                     for j in range(0,filter.shape[2]):                         if filterPositionX+i<image.shape[1] and filterPositionY+j<image.shape[2]:                             sum += image[channel][filterPositionX+i][filterPositionY+j]*filter[channel][i][j]                 new_image[channel][int(filterPositionX/stride)][int(filterPositionY/stride)] = sum*modifier                 filterPositionY += stride             filterPositionX += stride             filterPositionY = 0      #condense     condensed_new_image = np.zeros ([new_image.shape[1], new_image.shape[2]], float)     for i in range(0, new_image.shape[1]):         for j in range(0, new_image.shape[2]):             sum = 0             for channel in range (0, new_image.shape[0]):                 sum += new_image[channel][i][j]             condensed_new_image[i][j] = sum      condensed_new_image = np.clip (condensed_new_image, 0, 255)      return condensed_new_image

Running the function on a 448×448 grayscale image with a 7×7 filter and a stride of 2 takes about 10 seconds. My computer has an i7 processor.

Slow Cheetah – Add Transformation resurrects deleted config files

I working on some automation testing code and I’ve installed the Slow Cheetah extension and packages in order to be able to create multiple config files.

The idea is that I can then target these config files depending on where I want my code to run (e.g. locally, on a server, etc).

So I’ve a dummy file just to try the feature and when I was happy with it working, I deleted the file.

The feature allows you to generate the config files, and somehow, when I do that, it resurrects the deleted file.

So this is my issue, I’m haunted by a ghost file….

Things I’ve tried to exorcise it:

  1. deleted the file in Visual Studio
  2. deleted the local file manually

enter image description here

  1. deleted any trace of the file from the Configuration Manager

enter image description here

So yeah, I cleaned up all the slime and every time I click on Add Transform to generate new config file, the ghost one tags along…

add-apt-repository very slow

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.04 on a Razer Blade 15 (2019) and am trying to install OpenRazer drivers so I can control the keyboard backlighting.

I go into terminal and run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/stable. When I hit enter, it sits there for 5-10 minutes and finally asks whether or not I want to add the repository.

I hit enter to confirm, wait another minute or so, and it says that it timed out trying to retrieve the gpg key.

I’ve tried:

  1. Restarting and running the command again
  2. Disabling IPv6
  3. Letting Software & Updates choose the best download mirror
  4. Using multiple different keyservers
  5. Removing all repositories with missing keys

Nothing seems to work. I get the same behaviour every time. Is there any way to fix this?
