Garbage collection between laps

Javier Godoy — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:50:52 -0000

Garbage Collector should be invoked before each lap, in order to reduce the noise of objects from the previous lap being collected in another lap.

I placed an invokation to System.gc(); just before watch.start() on line 144 of Circuit class.

Though GC cannot be forced, this suggest the VM to do its best effort on collecting garbage. I think this invocation is a good idea because othewise I could (in theory) penalize some database because several objects were created for another database.

One could also argue that GC should be requested between the watch calls.

Hello,

Is it possible to test the H2 Database Engine as well? The configuration is simple, as it is compatible to HSQLDB. You can download the H2 database here:

FOREIGN KEY

Performance tests with foreign key - relations would be
very interesting, because many real world database
application make intensively use of foreign keys.

Multi-threaded benchmarking environment..

I think pole position is a great tool, it lacks in one
area however. It would be more usefule of the benchmark
was really multithreaded so that multiple threads were
executing concurrently against the database.

I think that would better mirror a real world
application as well as better separating the candidate
DBMS from eachother.
