If you are not already familiar with the programming languages that HammerDB uses, then this earlier post serves as an ideal introduction to what makes up the highest performing GIL free database benchmarking application. What programming languages does HammerDB use and why does it matter? WHY build from source? HammerDB-4.4-Linux.tar.gz

During the 90s, we saw two content management systems for static sites — Microsoft FrontPage in 1996 and Macromedia Dreamweaver in 1997. These desktop applications incremented the tooling an inch closer to the modern Jamstack content management systems of today. Maintaining layouts became a particular pain point for static sites.

Note that by default the build script will query the number of CPUs on the system that HammerDB is running and configure 5X this number for the number of warehouses to build. If HammerDB is running on a separate system from the database under test then you should modify this value accordingly. scripts/tcl/maria/tprocc/maria_tprocc.sh

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures. Why are developers using RInK systems as part of their design? We’ve seen similar high marshalling overheads in big data systems too.)

on Myths and Legends of High Performance Computing  — it’s a somewhat light-hearted look at some of the same issues by the leader of the team that built the Fugaku system I mention below. HPCG is led by Japan’s RIKEN Fugaku system at 16 petaflops, which is 3% of it’s peak capacity. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0

Build a more scalable, composable, and functional architecture for interconnecting systems and applications. Software today is not typically a single program—something that is executed by an operator or user, producing a result to that person—but rather a service : something that runs for the benefit of its consumers, a provider of value.
