This is my last post in series on FlashCache testing when the cache is placed on Intel SSD card. This time I am using tpcc-like workload with 1000 Warehouses ( that gives 100GB of data) on Dell PowerEdge R900 with 32GB of RAM, 22GB allocated for buffer pool and I put 70GB on FlashCache partition [...]
FlashCache: first experiments
May 10, 2010 By 18 Comments
I wrote about FlashCache there, and since that I run couple benchmarks, to see what performance benefits we can expect. For initial tries I took sysbench oltp tests ( read-only and read-write) and case when data fully fits into L2 cache. I made binaries for FlashCache for CentOS 5.4, kernel 2.6.18-164.15, you can download it [...]
RAID throughput on FusionIO
March 24, 2010 By 7 Comments
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 [...]
Introducing percona-patches for 5.1
February 9, 2010 By 21 Comments
Our patches for 5.0 have attracted significant interest. You can read about SecondLife’s experience here, as well as what Flickr had to say on their blog. The main improvements come in both performance gains and improvements to diagnostics (such as the improvements to the slow log output, and INDEX_STATISTICS). Despite having many requests to port [...]
FusionIO – time for benchmarks
December 8, 2009 By 10 Comments
I posted about FusionIO couple times RAID vs SSD vs FusionIO and Testing FusionIO: strict_sync is too strict…. The problem was that FusionIO did not provide durability or results were too bad in strict mode, so I lost interest FusionIO for couple month. But I should express respect to FusionIO team, they did not ignore [...]
Testing FusionIO: strict_sync is too strict…
June 15, 2009 By 8 Comments
With new updates of FusionIO drivers I was able to test it on our Dell R900 with Ubuntu 8.10 without pain of compiling drives myself and downgrading to older kernel, so I was decided to test it in strict_sync mode. As I understand FusionIO in default mode, like Intel SSD, is “lying” to application, and [...]
