DECEMBER 5, 2020

The HammerDB TPROC-C workload by design intended as CPU and memory intensive workload derived from TPC-C – so that we get to benchmark at maximum CPU performance at a much smaller database footprint. For TPC-C this meant enough available spindles to reduce I/O latency and for TPC-H enough bandwidth for data throughput.

I remember how, later on, a common question I would get in after giving performance-focused presentations was: “Is any of this going to matter when 4G is available?” Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks.

The collected data is aggregated and presented in a single view. Querying the data While it is reasonable to create panels showing real-time load in order to explore better the types of queries that can be run against pg_stat_monitor, it is more practical to copy and query the data into tables after the benchmarking has completed its run.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.
