Characterizing, modeling, and benchmarking RocksDB key-value workloads at Facebook , Cao et al., Or in the case of key-value stores, what you benchmark. So if you want to design a system that will offer good real-world performance, it’s really useful to have benchmarks that accurately represent real-world workloads.

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?

Sometimes developers only care about speed. Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. But to be fair, we also have to process the messages on the server before we can consider the messaging case to be complete.

But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

These AMD EPYC processors have a number of advantages for SQL Server workloads, as I will explain in this article. This 14nm first-generation AMD EPYC 7551 processor has 32 cores and 64 threads, and it works in one or two-socket servers. This makes it a good choice for many SQL Server workloads, especially DW workloads.

Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.
