The Postgres DB is totally un-tuned and contains purely default settings. The aim of the experiment was to see how data-locality might affect a running database workload, not to generate the maximum TPS. Many different queries are executing in parallel, some hitting RAM cache, some hitting storage. appeared first on n0derunner.

According to a performance test conducted by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, a senior software engineer at Red Hat, the process traced using strace ran 173 times slower, which is disastrous for a production environment. If you need to dynamically trace Linux process system calls, you might first consider strace.

An essential part of database performance testing is viewing the statistics generated by the database during the test and in 2009 HammerDB introduced automatic AWR snapshot generation for Oracle for the TPC-C test. However what if you want to review performance data in real time as the test is running?

Testing different base table cardinalities is just one dimension to try. I’ll present the performance tests that I’ve done with my solution. You can create supporting tables in the user database if needed. Let’s proceed to performance testing. So, my tuning efforts ended up yielding an improvement of 43.5

In that environment, the first PostgreSQL developers decided forking a process for each connection to the database is the safest choice. It would be a shame if your database crashed, after all. Developers are often strongly discouraged from holding a database connection while other operations take place.

In this post I'll look at the Linux kernel page table isolation (KPTI) patches that workaround Meltdown: what overheads to expect, and ways to tune them. Much of my testing was on Linux 4.14.11 Some older kernels have the KAISER patches for Meltdown, and so far the performance overheads look similar. and 4.14.12

As with the previous guides as an Intel employee (#IAMINTEL) the examples are taken from a MySQL 8 on Linux on Intel system and the approach is the same for whatever system you are testing although some of the settings you see may be different. Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB.
