Percona's MySQL & InnoDB performance and scalability blog
Along with maximal possible fsync/sec it is interesting how different software RAID modes affects throughput on FusionIO cards. In short conclusion, RAID10 modes really disappoint me, the detailed numbers to follow. To get numbers I run
1 | sysbench fileio |
test with 16KB page size, random read and writes, 1 and 16 threads, O_DIRECT mode. FusionIO cards are [...]
I recently was asked what maximal amount transactions per second we can get using MySQL and XtraDB / InnoDB storage engine if we have high-end server. Good questions, though not easy to answer, as it depends on: – durability setting ( innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0 or 1 ) ? – do we use binary logs ( [...]
Running many benchmarks on fast storage (FusionIO, SSDs) and multi-cores CPUs system I constantly face two contention problems. So I suspect it’s going to be next biggest issues to make InnoDB scaling on high-end system. This is also reason why in benchmarks I posted previously CPU usage is only about 50%, leaving other 50% in [...]
In my previous rounds with DataWarehouse oriented engines I used single table without joins, and with small (as for DW) datasize (see http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/10/02/analyzing-air-traffic-performance-with-infobright-and-monetdb/, http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/10/26/air-traffic-queries-in-luciddb/, http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/11/02/air-traffic-queries-in-infinidb-early-alpha/). Addressing these issues, I took Star Schema Benchmark, which is TPC-H modification, and tried run queries against InfoBright, InfiniDB, LucidDB and MonetDB. I did not get results for MonetDB, will [...]
I had an interesting case recently. The customer dealing with large MySQL data warehouse had the table which was had data merged into it with INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements. The performance was extremely slow. I turned out it is caused by hundreds of daily partitions created for this table. What is the most [...]
For the my previous post, there was comment to suggest to test db_STRESS benchmark on XtraDB by Dimitri. And I tested and tuned for the benchmark. I will show you the tunings. It should be also tuning procedure for general heavy writing workloads. At first, <tuning peak performance>. The next, <tuning purge operation> to stabilize [...]
Inspired by NILFS: A File System to Make SSDs Scream and some customers asked if they should try NILFS on their SSD disks I decided to run quick tests to see how it performs. Installation on our Ubuntu 8.10 with SSD disk (Intel X25-E, 32GB) was pretty plain and I got partition with NILFS without [...]
Well, actually it is not reading future, but just mysql-5.1.30.rhel4.spec file from MySQL RedHat 4 SRPM. I found there few MySQL Enterprise Editions, namely: MySQL Enterprise Server – Advanced Edition MySQL Enterprise Server – Pro Edition MySQL Enterprise Server – Classic Edition What is difference ? Let’s see. For MySQL Enterprise Server – Advanced Edition: [...]
During last one and a half year we had pretty good track record with MySQL Performance Blog – there were times when site was slow (especially when backup was running) but I do not remember significant downtime, until today we went down for few hours. All this time the site was running on dedicated server [...]
Reading this slashdot article today and two CIO magazine articles linked from it. Such discussions started at right place at right time always attract a lot of flamers and can be fun to read. What hit me this time is quality of the articles in CIO magazine. If this is what managers suppose to use [...]
