Yesterday, I got the basics going for MySQL Cluster on POWER. Today, I finished up a couple more patches to improve performance and ran some benchmarks.
This is on a 3.7Ghz POWER8 machine with non-balanced memory (only 2 of the 4 NUMA nodes have memory, so we have less total memory bandwidth than we could have, plus I’m going to bind ndbmtd to the CPUs in these NUMA nodes)
With a setup of a single replica and two data nodes on the one machine (each bound to a specific NUMA node), running the flexAsync benchmark on MySQL Cluster 7.3.7, I could get around:
- 3.2 million reads/sec
- 2.6 million deletes/sec
- 2.4 million updates/sec
- 2.4 million inserts/sec.
So, that’s at least in the right ballpark for a first go.
(I’m running this on a big endian host …
