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. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

How to maximize CPU performance for PostgreSQL 12.0 benchmarks on Linux

HammerDB

HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. So over at Phoronix some database benchmarks were published showing PostgreSQL 12 Performance With AMD EPYC 7742 vs. Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 Benchmarks .

The Ultimate Guide to Database High Availability

Percona

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss. Data replication : Data is continually copied from one database to another to ensure that the system remains operational even if one database fails.

High Availability vs. Fault Tolerance: Is FT’s 00.001% Edge in Uptime Worth the Headache?

Percona

We’ll also look at the differences, as it’s important to know what architecture(s) will help you best meet your unique requirements for maximizing data assets and achieving continuous uptime. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.

The Return of the Frame Pointers

Brendan Gregg

It fails because of a compiler optimization where the frame pointer register is used to store data instead of the frame pointer, but it's just a number so the profiler is unaware this happened and tries to match that address to a function symbol and fails (it is therefore an unknown symbol). You usually get an extra junk frame.
