View from Nutanix storage during Postgres DB benchmark

n0derunner

The Linux VM running postgres has two virtual disks – one taking transaction log writes. Since the DB is small (50% the size of the Linux RAM) – the database is mostly cached on the read side – so we only see writes going to the DB files. In this example from prior post.

How to Assess MySQL Performance

HammerDB

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. Benchmarking the target Two of the more popular database benchmarks for MySQL are HammerDB and sysbench. For storage, FIO is generally used. 4.22 %usr 38.40

A MyRocks Use Case

Percona

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.

The Importance of Selecting the Proper Azure VM Size

SQL Performance

Migrating an on-premises SQL Server instance to an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) is a common method to migrate to Azure. Microsoft has helped simplify things by creating multiple types of virtual machines. Memory optimized – High memory-to-CPU ratio, relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.

Please note that the focus of these tests was around standard metrics gathering and display, we’ll use a future blog post to benchmark some of the more intensive query analytics (QAN) performance numbers. Virtual Memory utilization was averaging 48 GB of RAM. Virtual Memory utilization was averaging 48 GB of RAM.

Why Tcl is 700% faster than Python for database benchmarking

HammerDB

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).

The Return of the Frame Pointers

Brendan Gregg

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.
