Rather than listing the concepts, function calls, etc, available in Citus, which frankly is a bit boring, I’m going to explore scaling out a database system starting with a single host. And now, execute the benchmark: -- execute the following on the coordinator node pgbench -c 20 -j 3 -T 60 -P 3 pgbench The results are not pretty.

As a benchmark, I am going to compute a linear congruential generator (basically a recursive linear function with a remainder thrown in), using these three approaches, plus the naive one. My source code is available. There is no silver bullet but a simple C function can beat a state-of-the-art optimizing compiler.

Arguably, the most common beginning errors with database benchmarking is for a user to select a single point of utilisation (usually overconfigured) and then extrapolate conclusions about system performance from this single point. automates this practice by introducing the concept of performance profiles for TPROC-C workloads.

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.
