Why you should benchmark your database using stored procedures

HammerDB

HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures.

SKP's Java/Java EE Gotchas: Clash of the Titans, C++ vs. Java!

DZone

One, by researching on the Internet; Two, by developing small programs and benchmarking. There were languages I briefly read about, including other performance comparisons on the internet. Recently, I spent some time checking on the Performance (not a very detailed study) of the various programming languages.

Faster remainders when the divisor is a constant: beating compilers and libdivide

Daniel Lemire

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. We also published our benchmarks for research purposes. I make my benchmarking code available.

HammerDB for Managers

HammerDB

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Derived Workloads.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. As I'm interested in the relative comparison I can just compare the total runtimes (the "real" time) for the same result. Theory (A) is most likely based on the frame widths in the flame graph.

AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors and SQL Server

SQL Performance

It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). The initial reviews and benchmarks for these processors have been very impressive: AMD EPYC 7002 Series Rome Delivers a Knockout. TPC-H Benchmark Results with SQL Server 2017.
