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.”

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. We also published our benchmarks for research purposes. I make my benchmarking code available.

Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability. Let’s examine the TPC-C Benchmark from this point of view, or more specifically its implementation in Sysbench.

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.

Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Compared to devices wealthy developers carry, the performance is night and (blinding) day.

So does this mean the current generation of out-of-order architecture is approaching fundamental limits in ST performance? to extract ILP during execution.

These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out.

For instance, scatter/gather pattern can be used to implement a MapReduce like batch processing architecture on top of Kubernetes.

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.

One of the most surprising results has been the frequent occurrence of “ambush by JavaScript” : We need a new term for the business-opportunity wastage that modern front-end development has created. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. It's clear that developers are out of touch with market ground-truth , but it's not obvious why. That's where the good news ends.

Hardware performance counter results for a simple benchmark code calling Intel’s optimized DGEMM implementation for this processor (from the Intel MKL library) show that about 20% of the dynamic instruction count consists of instructions that are not packed SIMD operations (i.e., addl $1, %eax vfmadd213pd %zmm16, %zmm17, %zmm29.
