GHz 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) Up to 20% higher compute performance than z1d instances Up to 50 Gbps of networking speed Up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) We can also verify these capabilities by running some simple benchmarks on the different subsystems.

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.”

An essential part of database performance testing is viewing the statistics generated by the database during the test and in 2009 HammerDB introduced automatic AWR snapshot generation for Oracle for the TPC-C test. With this feature Oracle generates a wealth of performance data that can be reviewed once the test is complete.

MySQL is not written in NodeJS, but we specify –lang node to launch the perf profiler, which is compatible with C/C++. Manual flame graphs collection Although the tool is excellent and automatically provides flame graphs, we don’t have much control over tuning the selected profiler.

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.

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. Basic Benchmarking Concepts. To benchmark a database we introduce the concept of a Virtual User.

If you are new to running Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL TPC-C workloads with HammerDB and have needed to investigate I/O performance the chances are that you have experienced waits on writing to the Redo, Transaction Log or WAL depending on the database you are testing. A good example of how tuning is an iterative process.

I use the “built in” benchmark pgbench to run a simple set of queries. pgbench -c 10 -S -T 600 -P 1 p gbench. For this experiment I am using Postgres v11 on Linux 3.10 The goal was to see what gains can be made from using hugepages. The workstation has 32GB of memory Postgres is given 16GB of memory using the parameter.

When you own all of the code then this may involve some back of the envelope estimates, competitive benchmarking, or intuition tuned by experience. It shouldn’t take much C# code to make an app that monitors the root of all drives, using buffer sizes that start small and gradually get larger. You know where to find me.
