Benchmarking (Part 5): Linux Hardware/Software Testing and Validation with Phoronix

Posted June 11th, 2008 at 09:26 by chrisplough
Hello!

Okay - so we all know the drill -- I'm a sucker for benchmarking and base a lot of the decisions here at MavenWire on the results (hardware/software/OS directions, performance recommendations, etc). Since we've based our Hosting infrastructure on Linux, we needed a way to quickly and reliably test the performance of various servers and also validate new servers before putting them into service. Luckily, another company (Phoronix Media) had the exact same need and created test...

Benchmarking (Part 4): Real-World Network Performance with Soap Stone

Posted April 21st, 2008 at 18:16 by chrisplough
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark real-world network performance using Soap Stone. I like this benchmark more than standard network throughput tests (ttcp, NetIO, etc) because it uses the Java JVM (just as OTM does) and it also utilizes application protocols that are similar to OTMs -- so rather than a meaningless throughput number, the results reflect the throughput you'll see with OTM and other multi-tier Java applications. Specifically, I test 3 protocols:...

Benchmarking (Part 3): Java JVM Performance with DaCapo

Posted March 23rd, 2008 at 16:37 by chrisplough
Updated April 22nd, 2008 at 06:41 by chrisplough (Updating benchmark results for new hardware)
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark JVM performance with the DaCapo Benchmarks. This is a great benchmark for determining the computational (algorithm crunching) power of different Java JVMs on various platforms. Also, since this is a highly computational, it does a good job of providing relative OTM Bulk Planning performance. Best of all, it fits into the MavenWire Benchmark Toolkit, because it works well. As an added bonus for the community - it's free!...

Benchmarking (Part 2): Oracle DB Performance with Hammerora

Posted March 6th, 2008 at 19:51 by chrisplough
Updated April 22nd, 2008 at 06:44 by chrisplough (Updating benchmark results for new hardware)
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark DB performance with Hammerora. This is a great benchmark for determining the relative performance of Oracle databases -- allowing you to compare various platforms and also DB configuration changes. Since this is a highly multi-threaded test, it simulates the activity coming from the OTM DB connection pool very well. Best of all, it fits into the MavenWire Benchmark Toolkit, because it works well. As an added bonus for the...

Benchmarking (Part 1): Java JVM Performance with VolanoMark

Posted January 8th, 2008 at 23:50 by chrisplough
Updated April 22nd, 2008 at 06:38 by chrisplough (Updating benchmark results for new hardware)
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark JVM performance with VolanoMark. This is a great benchmark for determining the relative performance of different Java JVMs on various platforms. Also, since this is a highly multi-threaded test, it gives a good indication of relative OTM performance. Best of all, it fits into the MavenWire Benchmark Toolkit, because it works well. As an added bonus for the community - it's free!

First, some links you'll...
