The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

This blog is in reference to our previous ones for ‘Innodb Performance Optimizations Basics’ 2007 and 2013. By caching hot datasets, indexes, and ongoing changes, InnoDB can provide faster response times and utilize disk IO in a much more optimal way. have been released since then with some major changes.

A 2007 paper, that still has lots to say on the subject of benchmarking storage and filesystems. Use a mix of macro and micro benchmarks Understand what you are testing, cached results are fine – as long as that is what you had intended.

Short durations can be useful for understanding how well a WSS will fit into the CPU caches (L1/L2/L3, TLB L1/L2, etc). In this case, 28 Mbytes is a little larger than the LLC for this CPU, so may not cache so well (in a single LLC, anyway, and based on this single measurement). Why did I use a 100 ms interval? 16.570 403.66

After 20 years of neck-in-neck competition, often starting from common code lineages, there just isn't that much left to wring out of the system. Consistent improvement is the name of the game, and it can still have positive impacts, particularly as users lean on the system more heavily over time. PWA Install Prompts. Content Indexing.
