Comment: The write cache: Swap insanity tome III

We are using also: vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 200 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 100 to make the i/o throughput more stable. The default timeout is quite long and can cause (micro) stalls when flushing a huge amount of data to disk/controller at once.

Post: Memory allocators: MySQL performance improvements in Percona Server 5.5.30-30.2

… for glibc and jemalloc allocators. Observations: = MySQL 5.5.30 – throughput of MySQL 5.5.30 with glibc is limited first…

Post: kernel_mutex problem. Or double throughput with single variable

… not all production systems can tolerate 2x times drop of throughput in the peak times. So what can be done there… we can improve to 145324 q/s , almost to peak throughput from first experiment. With innodb_sync_spin_loops=100 the… innodb_sync_spin_loops=200 for 1-1024 threads. Threads Throughput Throughput spin 200 1 11178.34 11288.42 2 27741.06…

Post: RAID throughput on FusionIO

…/sec it is interesting how different software RAID modes affects throughput on FusionIO cards. In short conclusion, RAID10 modes really disappoint…. As expected RAID1 over 2 disks shows hit on write throughput comparing to single disk, but RAID10 modes over 4 disks…

Basically, by lowering innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct, you are killing your throughput. When you disable innodb_doublewrite, you can get stable throughput if you are lucky enough to…

Comment: Introducing new type of benchmark

Run as many parallel requests as needed to make the system throughput (TPS in the case… throughput tests :-) . The max system throughput test gives the shared component processing time P – it’s the reciprocal of the max system throughput
