These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail.

After the “data dictionary” (DD) engine and DD cache are initialized on a server, the Storage Engines can ask for a table definition. Initializing a DD engine and the cache adds complexity and other server dependencies. Essentially LRU cache is disabled by loading the tables as non-evictable. ibd2sdi data/test/t1.ibd

Older Intel processors are more vulnerable to these exploits, and they suffer more of a performance decrease from existing software and firmware-level fixes. They will also have up to 256MB of L3 cache per processor. I am optimistic that they will have higher single-threaded CPU performance than Intel Cascade Lake-SP processors.
