Re: Slow concurrent processing

Thanks Steve

Well, the full story is too complex - but point was - whatever blackbox does - it last 0.5 to 2secs per 1 processed record (maybe I was wrong but I thought the reason why it takes the time how much it needs to actually do the task -CPU/IO/memory whatever is not that important....) - so I really don't see difference between: call web service, insert row in the table (takes 3 secs) and sleep 3 seconds - insert result in the table...

if we do above task for two things sequential - it will last 6 secs...but if we do it "concurentelly" - it should last 3 secs... (in theory :) )

I was guessed somewhere is lock - but wasn't clear where/why when there are no updates - just inserts...

But I haven't know that during INSERT is done row lock on refferenced tables as well - from FK columns...

So I guess now it is cause of the problem...

We will see how it goes with insert into unlogged tables with no FK...

Many thanks,

Misa

Hi all,

We have one table with list of "records for processing"...

We loop trough that table and call one long runing function:

 do_the_math_for_record(record_id)...<snip>...


but - if replace do_the_math_and_save_results with pg_sleep(1); To simulate long running function so processing each row - last 1 sec...

Sequential processing last as expected 300 seconds!

Concurrent processing last faster with higher number of concurrent connections - about 30 seconds with 30 connections! (much faster - and expected...)

however, if we return our: do_the_math_and_save_results - we can't get better results in concurrent processing...

Sleep will not have any significant impact on CPU, memory or disk use and thus is not a simulation of actual processing.

All you have really shown us so far is a black box. Please provide an overview of your schemas and the type of processing you are attempting on them.

Cheers,
Steve
