System Resource and Input Output Optimization Questions

Techniques for managing system resources and optimizing input output including memory management, buffer and cache tuning, storage tiering and device selection, disk access patterns and throughput trade offs, central processing unit utilization, contention resolution, and diagnosing resource bottlenecks. Candidates should discuss monitoring and observability, trade offs between latency and throughput, caching strategies, memory pooling and fragmentation mitigation, and platform specific constraints when optimizing resource usage.
