Why Tcl is 700% faster than Python for database benchmarking

HammerDB

Python is a popular programming language, especially for beginners, and consequently we see it occurring in places where it just shouldn’t be used, such as database benchmarking. We use stored procedures because, as the introductory post shows, using single SQL statements turns our database benchmark into a network test).

View from Nutanix storage during Postgres DB benchmark

n0derunner

The Linux VM running postgres has two virtual disks – one taking transaction log writes. Since the DB is small (50% the size of the Linux RAM) – the database is mostly cached on the read side – so we only see writes going to the DB files. In this example from prior post.

Azure Virtual Machines for SQL Server Usage

SQL Performance

One important choice you will still have to make is what type and size of Azure virtual machine you want to use for your existing SQL Server workload. Microsoft currently has eight main types of virtual machines designed for different types of workloads. GHz, 128MB of L3 cache, 128 PCIe 4.0 Azure VM Types and Series. Conclusion.

The Most Important MySQL Setting

Percona

To illustrate this, I ran the Sysbench-TPCC synthetic benchmark against two different GCP instances running a freshly installed Percona Server for MySQL version 8.0.31 In MySQL, considering the standard storage engine, InnoDB , the data cache is called Buffer Pool. In PostgreSQL, it is called shared buffers.

The Return of the Frame Pointers

Brendan Gregg

Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. It shouldn't be 10%, unless it's cache effects. And for leaf routines (which never establish a frame), this is a non-issue.

The Importance of Selecting the Proper Azure VM Size

SQL Performance

Migrating an on-premises SQL Server instance to an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) is a common method to migrate to Azure. Microsoft has helped simplify things by creating multiple types of virtual machines. Memory optimized – High memory-to-CPU ratio, relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.
