Benchmarking spreadsheet systems Rahman et al., construct a set of benchmarks to try and understand what might be going on under the covers in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc. The other systems avoid this recomputation, but are slower than Excel for value-only datasets. Rahman et al.

broke records and defeated top-ranked messaging services in benchmark tests. In 2010, the SPECjms2007 benchmark record was smashed by HornetQ , an open-source enterprise messaging system from JBoss. Why wasn't it widely adopted? When testing a new product, it's important to see how it stacks up against its competition.

The general perception is that benchmarks published by vendors can never be trusted; however, well-run benchmarks absolutely have their place, even if performed by a vendor. Benchmarks are well-run when the input parameters to the benchmarked systems match the needs of the target workloads included in the benchmark.

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

I have generally held the view that replicating data to a secondary system is faster than sync-ing to disk, assuming the round trip network delay wasn’t high due to quality networks and co-located redundant servers. This is the first time I have benchmarked it with a realistic example. Little’s Law and Why Latency Matters.
