Faster remainders when the divisor is a constant: beating compilers and libdivide

Daniel Lemire

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. We also published our benchmarks for research purposes. I make my benchmarking code available.

Deep dive into NVIDIA Blackwell Benchmarks — where does the 4x training and 30x inference…

Adrian Cockcroft

Most publications have simply reported the benchmark improvement claims, but if you stop to think about them, the numbers dont make sense based on a simplistic view of the technology changes. There are three generations of GPUs that are relevant to this comparison. Various benchmarks show improvements of 1.4x

Why you should benchmark your database using stored procedures

HammerDB

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.

Comparing HammerDB TPROC-C results with sysbench-tpcc

HammerDB

In a recent project comparing systems for MariaDB performance, a user had originally been using a tool called sysbench-tpcc to compare hardware platforms before migrating to HammerDB. This is a brief post to highlight the metrics to use to do the comparison using a separate hardware platform for illustration purposes.
