HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. However, it is crucial that the benchmarking application does not have inherent bottlenecks that artificially limits the scalability of the database. This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset.

In some instances, libdivide can even be more efficient than compilers because it uses an approach introduced by Robison (2005) where we not only use multiplications and shifts, but also an addition to avoid arithmetic overflows. We also published our benchmarks for research purposes. I make my benchmarking code available.

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Convolutional Capsule primitives can be implemented reasonably efficiently on CPU but problems arise on accelerators (e.g. GPU and TPU).

Since “peak performance” for the processor is two (512-bit SIMD) FMA instructions per cycle, any instructions that are not FMA instructions subtract directly from the available peak performance. If this reduces the required concurrency to less than the number of available rename registers, full performance should be obtained.
