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.”

As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components. For example, if you are buying the latest Amazon memory-optimized EC2 instance (R7iz), the AWS page ( [link] ) tells us the following: Up to 3.9 4.22 %usr 38.40

Storage is a critical aspect to consider when working with cloud workloads. High availability storage options within the context of cloud computing involve highly adaptable storage solutions specifically designed for storing vast amounts of data while providing easy access to it. What is an example of a workload?

by Shefali Vyas Dalal AWS re:Invent is a couple weeks away and our engineers & leaders are thrilled to be in attendance yet again this year! To sustain this data growth at Netflix, it has deployed open-source software Ceph using AWS services to achieve the required SLOs of some of the post-production workflows.

I wrote this post on MyRocks because I believe it is the most interesting new MySQL storage engine to have appeared over the last few years. The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes. Conclusion.

If you’re moving an OLAP workload to the cloud (AWS in the context of this paper), what DBMS setup should you go with? use the TPC-H benchmark to assess Redshift, Redshift Spectrum, Athena, Presto, Hive, and Vertica to find out what works best and the trade-offs involved. in the TPC-H Benchmark Standard for details of the queries).

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.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there is one question regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily : When should I use Aurora and when RDS MySQL ? In this benchmark, I discovered some interesting discrepancies in performance between AMD and Intel CPUs when running under systemd. Interested?

If we do that naively though, we’re going to end up with a lot of universes to store and maintain and the storage requirements alone will be prohibitive. A Piazza-style class forum discussion application with 1M posts, 1,000 classes, and a privacy policy allowing TAs to see anonymous posts is used as the basis for benchmarking.

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users.
