Benchmarking Cache Event Virtualization 
Percona
DECEMBER 23, 2022
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. I decided to use a virtual machine with two CPU cores, four GB of memory, and storage limited to a maximum of 1000 IOPs of 16KB. MyRocks Vs InnoDB.

Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. It shouldn't be 10%, unless it's cache effects. And for leaf routines (which never establish a frame), this is a non-issue.

Python is a popular programming language, especially for beginners, and consequently we see it occurring in places where it just shouldn’t be used, such as database benchmarking. We use stored procedures because, as the introductory post shows, using single SQL statements turns our database benchmark into a network test).

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

MySQL triggers are a powerful tool for database administrators and developers, enabling them to automate tasks, enforce data consistency, and respond to events within the database seamlessly. These events, known as trigger events, can include actions like inserting, updating, or deleting records in database tables.

This post at an entry-level discusses the options you have to improve log throughput in your benchmark environment. . The first example shows a data load, the second a TPC-C based workload with 5 virtual users and the 2nd example with 10 virtual users. To illustrate the data reads on Oracle we can flush the buffer cache.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Pointer Events. No browser is always fastest in every area today.
