HammerDB

JUNE 27, 2022

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.

To illustrate this, I ran the Sysbench-TPCC synthetic benchmark against two different GCP instances running a freshly installed Percona Server for MySQL version 8.0.31 In MySQL, considering the standard storage engine, InnoDB , the data cache is called Buffer Pool. The throughput didn’t double but increased by 57%.

Testing and Validation : Thorough testing and validation are essential when working with triggers, especially in a production environment. Changes to triggers should be carefully reviewed and tested to ensure they do not introduce unintended consequences. for i in `seq 1 1 16`; do mysql test -e "SELECT * FROM tc_test"; done.

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. Oracle Log File Sync. so what are your options?

To show that I can criticize my own work as well, here I show that sustained memory bandwidth (using an approximation to the STREAM Benchmark ) is also inadequate as a single figure of metric. (It Here I assumed a particular analytical function for the amount of memory traffic as a function of cache size to scale the bandwidth time.

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. Another window into this question is provided by the Web Confluence Metrics project.

The scale of the effect can be deeply situational or hard to suss out without solid metrics. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The Moto G4 , for example. Today, either method returns a similar answer.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. This helps support executive sponsors who then have meaningful metrics to point to in justifying the investments being made. Very rarely have we seen a team succeed that doesn’t set budgets, gather RUM metrics, and carry representative customer devices.

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

The primary metric for memory bandwidth in multicore processors is that maximum sustained performance when using many cores.
