FEBRUARY 25, 2021

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. However, it is crucial that the benchmarking application does not have inherent bottlenecks that artificially limits the scalability of the database. This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset.

The x86-64 ABI documentation shows how a CPU register, %rbp, can be used as a "base pointer" to a stack frame, aka the "frame pointer." It was also a virtual machine that lacked low-level hardware profiling capabilities, so I wasn't able to do cycle analysis to confirm that the 10% was entirely frame pointer-based.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Provides support for "unread counts", e.g. for email and chat programs.

Hardware performance counter results for a simple benchmark code calling Intel’s optimized DGEMM implementation for this processor (from the Intel MKL library) show that about 20% of the dynamic instruction count consists of instructions that are not packed SIMD operations (i.e., addl $1, %eax vfmadd213pd %zmm16, %zmm17, %zmm29.
