HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. So over at Phoronix some database benchmarks were published showing PostgreSQL 12 Performance With AMD EPYC 7742 vs. Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 Benchmarks . uname -a Linux ubuntu19 5.3.0-rc3-custom

Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail.

Nowadays, solid-state drives (SSDs) or non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives are preferred over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) for database servers due to their faster read and write speeds, lower latency, and improved reliability. Operating system Linux is the most common operating system for high-performance MySQL servers.

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.”

Perhaps the most interesting lesson/reminder is this: it takes a lot of effort to tune a Linux kernel. Google’s data center kernel is carefully performance tuned for their workloads. A micro-benchmark suite, LEBench was then built around tee system calls responsible for most of the time spent in the kernel.

We’ll note how some of the Linux parameter settings used OS tuning may vary according to different system types: physical, virtual or cloud.

This weeks’ blog post covers a technique you can use to make all file operations on Windows run at one tenth their normal speed (or slower), in a way that will be untraceable for most users! When you own all of the code then this may involve some back of the envelope estimates, competitive benchmarking, or intuition tuned by experience.
