What Adrian Did Next?—?Part 2?—?Sun Microsystems

Adrian Cockcroft

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc.

Why Tcl is 700% faster than Python for database benchmarking

HammerDB

Python is a popular programming language, especially for beginners, and consequently we see it occurring in places where it just shouldn’t be used, such as database benchmarking. We use stored procedures because, as the introductory post shows, using single SQL statements turns our database benchmark into a network test).

HammerDB MySQL and MariaDB Best Practice for Performance and Scalability

HammerDB

Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB. As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level. As is exactly the same with PostgreSQL for system choice a 2 socket system is optimal for MySQL OLTP performance.

HammerDB Best Practice for PostgreSQL Performance and Scalability

HammerDB

This limitation is at the database level rather than the hardware level, nevertheless with up to date hardware (from mid-2018) PostgreSQL on a 2 socket system can be expected to deliver more than 2M PostgreSQL TPM and 1M NOPM with the HammerDB TPC-C test. .

HammerDB: Using MySQL 5.7 vs 8.0 to understand performance profiles

HammerDB

One of the most important concepts in analysing database performance is that of understanding scalability. Plotting these data points enables us to understand the scalability of the database software being tested on that system. In this example, we will compare MySQL 5.7.33 and MySQL 8.0.25 and MySQL 8.0.25

HammerDB Concepts and Architecture

HammerDB

However if you have downloaded the source code and are looking to add features or make modifications such as adding new databases you may be wondering once you have the source code where to start. However HammerDB will not be able to connect to a database yet and the librarycheck command included with the CLI gives an indication why.
