Linux OS Tuning for MySQL Database Performance. In this post we will review the most important Linux settings to adjust for performance tuning and optimization of a MySQL database server. We’ll note how some of the Linux parameter settings used OS tuning may vary according to different system types: physical, virtual or cloud.

Storage The type of storage and disk used for database servers can have a significant impact on performance and reliability. Operating system Linux is the most common operating system for high-performance MySQL servers. Benchmark before you decide. If you see concurrency issues, you can tune this variable.

We implemented a batch processing system for users to submit their requests and wait for the system to generate the output. This limited pilot system greatly reduced the time spent by our users to manually analyze the content. Maintaining disparate systems posed a challenge. Processing took several hours to complete.

A co-worker introduced me to Craig Hanson and Pat Crain's performance mantras, which neatly summarize much of what we do in performance analysis and tuning. These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

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? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.

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.”
