Reuters reports:
Several large data centers and crypto facilities planning to connect to the Texas power grid ahead of peak summer demand have failed key reliability tests, raising the risk of power outages just as electricity use hits its seasonal high, according to the state grid operator...

Несколько недель назад мы обсуждали Java-компонент, запускающий кластер Spark. Его основная задача — координация. Он поднимает всю необходимую инфраструктуру, прокидывает конфигурацию, дожидается нужных сигналов и отходит на второй план.Моё изначальное предложение прозвучало просто: «Ему вполне должно хватить одного ядра и 2 ГБ RAM. Это же всего лишь лаунчер». Хотя даже 2 ГБ казалось будто бы мало, ведь речь о продакшене, а не о каких-то экспериментах на личном ноутбуке. Но как... Read more
