The scaling factor is 20 I used -v and 2>/dev/null, now I got tps = 389.796376 (excluding connections establishing) This is best so far I can get Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lewis [mailto:mark.lewis@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 10:32 AM To: Marty Jia Cc: Joshua D. Drake; pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; DBAs; Rich Wilson; Ernest Wurzbach Subject: Re: [PERFORM] How to get higher tps Well, at least on my test machines running gnome-terminal, my pgbench runs tend to get throttled by gnome-terminal's lousy performance to no more than 300 tps or so. Running with 2>/dev/null to throw away all the detailed logging gives me 2-3x improvement in scores. Caveat: in my case the db is on the local machine, so who knows what all the interactions are. Also, when you initialized the pgbench db what scaling factor did you use? And does running pgbench with -v improve performance at all? -- Mark On Tue, 2006-08-22 at 09:19 -0400, Marty Jia wrote: > Joshua, > > Here is > > shared_buffers = 80000 > fsync = on > max_fsm_pages = 350000 > max_connections = 1000 > work_mem = 65536 > effective_cache_size = 610000 > random_page_cost = 3 > > Here is pgbench I used: > > pgbench -c 10 -t 10000 -d HQDB > > Thanks > > Marty > > -----Original Message----- > From: Joshua D.
