PostgreSQL Performance Tuning: Optimizing Database Parameters for Maximum Efficiency

Percona

PostgreSQL performance optimization is an ongoing process involving monitoring, benchmarking, and adjustments to maintain high-performing PostgreSQL databases. The PostgreSQL buffer is called shared_buffer, which is the most effective tunable parameter for most operating systems. Why is PostgreSQL performance tuning important?

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

Tuning PostgreSQL Database Parameters to Optimize Performance

Percona

The PostgreSQL buffer is called shared_buffer which is the most effective tunable parameter for most operating systems. It’s low because certain machines and operating systems do not support higher values. Plus another recent post on benchmarks: Tuning PostgreSQL for sysbench-tpcc. wal_buffers. Related posts.

CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment

The Morning Paper

abstract capabilities are constructed only through legitimate provenance chains of operations, successively reducing permissions from initial maximally permissive capabilities provided at machine reset. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes. faster for system calls).

What programming languages does HammerDB use and why does it matter?

HammerDB

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. On high-performance multi-core systems all the supported databases can return performance in the many millions of transactions per minute. Basic Benchmarking Concepts. To benchmark a database we introduce the concept of a Virtual User.

Of course, it would be better from the OS vendor's perspective if everyone simply wrote all of the software for their proprietary platform, maximising OS feature differentiation. native, OS-specific) platform and the hopefully weaker web platform. The two sub-variants differ in ambition owing to the market positions of their OS sponsors.
