However most people use HammerDB with keying and thinking time disabled and therefore each virtual user can approximately drive the CPU resources of one CPU core on the database server. Therefore for the 100 virtual users 400 to 500 warehouses should be a minimum to be configured. MORE

And software testing is being forced to be reinvented every day due to the introduction of new technologies like artificial intelligence, virtualization, and predictive analysis. MORE
The answer to this challenge is service virtualization, which allows simulating real services during testing without actual access. Cloud and virtualization triggered appearance dynamic, auto-scaling architectures, which significantly impact getting and analyzing feedback. Due to virtualization system-level monitoring doesn’t help much anymore and may be misleading – so getting information from application and database servers becomes very important. MORE
Statiscal foundations of virtual democracy Kahng et al., The big idea behind virtual democracy is that we learn the voting preferences of each stakeholder, essentially creating an agent which is able to vote in their place, a virtual voter. Then when we need to make a decision we ask those virtual voters to cast their votes (in the form of a preference ranking). ICML’19. MORE
We need a different approach for both because in the schema build we are waiting for all of the virtual users to finish (vwait forever), however for the driver we are waiting for a set period of time before terminating them. For the build I have created more warehouses but with 5 virtual users to show the multithreaded nature of the build. MORE

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 6, 2019 – ScaleGrid , the Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) leader in the SQL and NoSQL space, has announced the expansion of their fully managed MySQL Hosting services to support Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. MORE
The popular choices are DNS mapping, virtual IP mapping, PgPool and HAProxy. The past several years have seen increasing adoption for PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is an amazing relational database. Feature-wise, it is up there with the best, if not the best. There are many things I love about it – PL/ PG SQL, smart defaults, replication (that actually works out of the box), and an active and vibrant open source community. MORE

Alluxio is leveraged as compute-side virtual storage to improve performance. The Apache Spark + Alluxio stack is getting quite popular particularly for the unification of data access across S3 and HDFS. In addition, compute and storage are increasingly being separated causing larger latencies for queries. But to get the best performance, like any technology stack, you need to follow the best practices. MORE
The reasons for this poor performance include things such as bad coding practices, broken bindings, complex layouts, the lack of UI virtualization, and much more. Are you a WPF developer? Do your WPF apps have areas of poor performance or don’t run as quickly as you would like? If so, I have 15 tips to help you identify and improve the performance of your WPF applications. MORE
Data preparation and service virtualization functionality/tools would be here very handy here. And some functionality like network virtualization can be found in more sophisticated products – but it is time to have all of them (or at least have a good integration with “chaos engineering” tools). Following up my post Are Times still Good for Load Testing? , I decided to answer multiple comments here separately. MORE
One of the nice things about using public cloud is the ability to use pre-canned application virtual appliances created by companies like Bitnami. We can use these same appliance images on Nutanix AHV to easily do a Postgres database benchmark. Step 1. Get the bitnami image. wget [link]. MORE
