Virtual consensus in Delos

The Morning Paper

Virtual consensus in Delos , Balakrishnan et al. If you think of this a bit like mapping memory addresses to data in memory, then another parallel comes to mind: the virtual address space. We propose the novel abstraction of a virtual shared log (or VirtualLog). Facebook, Inc. ), OSDI’2020. What does the VirtualLog give us?

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

PostgreSQL Connection Pooling: Part 4 – PgBouncer vs. Pgpool-II

Scalegrid

However, these must be set up outside the PostgreSQL system, while PgBouncer can offload this to the PostgreSQL server. PgBouncer provides a virtual database that reports various useful statistics. All of the PostgreSQL benchmark tests were run under the following conditions: Initialized pgbench using a scale factor of 100.

AMD EPYC Processors in Azure Virtual Machines

SQL Performance

Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. These AMD EPYC processors have a number of advantages for SQL Server workloads, as I will explain in this article. Figure 1: CPU-Z Benchmark Results for LS16v2. Azure Lsv2 Details.

The Most Important MySQL Setting

Percona

If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? Sysbench ran on a third server, which I’ll refer to as the application server (APP).

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! What on Earth is Ubuntu doing that results in 30% higher CPU time!? ## 1.
