Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. The pricing details for the East US region are here , as an example. I wrote about using CPU-Z to benchmark the Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 processor in an Azure VM in this article.

To illustrate this, I ran the Sysbench-TPCC synthetic benchmark against two different GCP instances running a freshly installed Percona Server for MySQL version 8.0.31 For example, if the hot data can fit in 12G, then increasing the Buffer Pool to 26G won’t make much of a difference.

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. For example, an area where Apple is absolutely killing it is in mobile CPU design.

As with the previous guides as an Intel employee (#IAMINTEL) the examples are taken from a MySQL 8 on Linux on Intel system and the approach is the same for whatever system you are testing although some of the settings you see may be different. an example is shown of the shortest of these: . An example MySQL my.cnf file is shown.

For example, the IMDG must be able to efficiently create millions of objects in each server to make use of its huge storage capacity. Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput. Testing Scale-Up Performance.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. The following are examples of successful recovery situations actually encountered by Microsoft SQL Server Product Support Services personnel. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

For example, to make performance more tangible, you could expose the revenue performance impact by showing the correlation between the conversion rate and time to application load, as well as rendering performance. Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ).
