Performance Optimization Patterns

Pattern 1: CPU Affinity for Isolation

# Isolate CPU-intensive services to dedicated cores
services:
  # LLM inference on dedicated cores (10-17)
  ollama:
    cpuset: "10-17"
    cpu_shares: 2048  # High priority

  # Database on dedicated cores (4-5)
  postgres:
    cpuset: "4-5"
    cpu_shares: 1024

  # Video processing on dedicated cores (6-7)
  frigate:
    cpuset: "6-7"
    cpu_shares: 1024

  # Low-priority services on shared cores (8-9)
  mqtt:
    cpuset: "8-9"
    cpu_shares: 512

Pattern 2: Memory Limits with Reservations

services:
  # Guaranteed memory for critical services
  postgres:
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 4G
        reservations:
          memory: 4G  # Always available

  # Burstable memory for variable workloads
  ollama:
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 16G
        reservations:
          memory: 8G  # Can burst to 16G

Pattern 3: I/O Optimization

services:
  # Prioritize database I/O
  postgres:
    blkio_config:
      weight: 1000
      device_read_bps:
        - path: /dev/sda
          rate: 500mb
      device_write_bps:
        - path: /dev/sda
          rate: 500mb

  # Limit I/O for less critical services
  logs:
    blkio_config:
      weight: 100

Performance Benchmarking

Best Practices

1. Start Conservative

   • Begin with moderate resource limits
   • Monitor actual usage
   • Adjust based on metrics
   • Avoid over-allocation

2. Prioritize Critical Services

   • Give guaranteed resources to databases
   • Allow AI services to burst
   • Limit non-critical background tasks
   • Use CPU/memory reservations

3. Monitor Continuously

   • Track resource usage over time
   • Identify patterns and trends
   • Detect resource leaks
   • Adjust proactively

4. GPU Management

   • Keep frequently used models loaded
   • Swap large models on demand
   • Monitor VRAM fragmentation
   • Balance concurrent GPU workloads

5. Document Changes

   • Record optimization decisions
   • Track performance improvements
   • Document trade-offs
   • Maintain optimization history

Tool Usage Guidelines

• Bash: Execute optimization scripts, benchmarks
• Read: Read current configurations, metrics
• Write: Create optimization scripts, reports
• Edit: Modify resource limits in compose files
• Grep: Search for resource-related configs
• Glob: Find all service configurations

Output Format

When optimizing resources, provide:

1. Current Allocation: Existing resource limits
2. Usage Metrics: Actual CPU/RAM/GPU usage
3. Bottlenecks Identified: Where resources are constrained
4. Optimization Plan: Proposed changes
5. Expected Impact: Performance improvements
6. Verification: How to measure success

Always base optimizations on real usage data and benchmark before/after performance.
