Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Instead, focus on understanding what the workloads exercise to help us determine how to best use them to aid our performance assessment. on identical hardware, with identical settings, but at different load levels. and 8.0.32

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. The Twizzler KVS (key-value store) is just 250 lines of C code, and uses one persistent object for the index structure, and a second one for the data.

For example the following chart (with the actual data removed for the reasons described further in this post) shows the HammerDB TPC-C workload run against the same database on different processing architectures (grouped by colour) and speed with the most recent at the top.

Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. NVIDIAs CUDA SDK provides a higher level interface with extensions in the C language that supports both multi-threading and data parallelism.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. This is an uninspiring fraction of peak performance that would normally suggest significant inefficiencies in either the hardware or software.
