I am wondering how to setup NGINX to server large (1-4 GB) static files without killing disk I/O wait caused by simultaneous reading.
How do file-servers achieve this?






nginx

          These are would help you to reduce I/O on Disk:



          1. Turn on sendfilein NGINX.

          2. Use VFS File System for your partition.

          3. Adjust output_buffers in NGINX.

          4. Disable directio in NGINX.

          • Thanks! Are these still valid if NGINX is used as reverse proxy or not? Because i did not consider that, i might need to remove Apache altogether first.

          • These are important when you use NGINX as a standalone web server or reverse proxy. For reversed proxied NGINX you must adjust some variables for proxy_*. such as proxy_buffering, proxy_buffer_size, etc..

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
