I was hoping to just get a "gut reaction" on some pgbench numbers I have, to see if I'm in the ballpark. OS: ScientificLinux 6.3, x86_64 Hardware: 4x real disks (not SSD) behind an LSI 9260 in raid10, Xeon E5-2680 with hyperthreading OFF, 128GB of RAM. Setup: postgresql 8.4.13, ext4, barriers ON, disk write cache *off*, write- back enabled on the LSI. I initialized with sizes of 100, 200, and 400. I've done some tuning of the postgresql config, but mostly I'm just trying to find out if I'm in the right ballpark. I ran pgbench from another (similar) host: pgbench -h BLAH -c 32 -M prepared -t 100000 -S I get 95,000 to 100,000 tps. pgbench -h BLAH -c 32 -M prepared -t 100000 seems to hover around 6,200 tps (size 100) to 13,700 (size 400) Do these basically sniff right? (NOTE: with barriers off, I get a slight increase - 10% - in the read-write test, and a larger *decrease* - 15% - with the read-only test @ 400. No change @ 100) -- Jon -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
