In our previous posts in this series, we spoke at length about using PgBouncer and Pgpool-II , the connection pool architecture and pros and cons of leveraging one for your PostgreSQL deployment. PgBouncer provides a virtual database that reports various useful statistics. Throughput Benchmark. Administration. Without pooling.

CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment Davis et al., And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes. Capability integrity prevents direct in-memory manipulation of architectural capability encodings.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

This guide to HammerDB concepts and architectures is aimed at helping you understand how HammerDB is built and how it can be extended and modified. TCL was designed as a language to be closely tied with C/C++ and at this lower level there is the compiled TCL (tclsh) or TCL/TK (wish) interpreter and supporting libraries.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

I then analyzed performance during the benchmark ([active benchmarking]), and used other benchmarks to confirm findings. virtual (bgregg-c5.9xl-i-xxx) 02/09/2018 _x86_64_ (36 CPU) 05:24:51 PM proc/s cswch/s. I described this in [The PMCs of EC2]: the architectural set is better than nothing, and a year ago we had nothing.
