I wrote this post on MyRocks because I believe it is the most interesting new MySQL storage engine to have appeared over the last few years. The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Derived Workloads.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

These updates are designed to keep databases running at peak performance and simplify database operations. But as companies grow and see more demand for their databases, we need to ensure that PMM also remains scalable so you don’t need to worry about its performance while tending to the rest of your environment.

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 on CentOS 7, both of them spec’d with four vCPUs but with the second one (server B) having a tad over twice as much memory than the reference one (server A).

If you are new to running Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL TPC-C workloads with HammerDB and have needed to investigate I/O performance the chances are that you have experienced waits on writing to the Redo, Transaction Log or WAL depending on the database you are testing. Logging Waits. innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0. PostgreSQL.

Fully audited configurations would require multiple racks of I/O capacity to reach maximum CPU performance.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). That ‘reasonable’ performance cost is a 6.8% The work includes changes to the CHERI ISA, the C compiler, the C language runtime, the virtual memory APIs, and the CheriBSD kernel.

With MongoDB, you can set read-only privileges in which users can query data but cannot perform write operations. This helps prevent the possibility of a single point of failure, which could cause downtime or slow performance. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.),
