What’s in a transaction?
Questions have been asked about what each transaction is doing in the 40tps benchmark mentioned in the previous post.
The test ‘application’ is a loop which each time around commits a transaction which creates two new virtual objects, each of which is an Array of two elements, the first a Float, the second a String of 65 characters, which is added into a VirtualDictionary using the integer part of the Float as the key. The application updates a scrolling window on each commit. Garbage collection is switched off, MVRC/MVCC Versioning is switched off. The log archive delay interval is 1000ms. The test is run for 30 seconds and the dictionary size is about 20000 elements.
For comparison, if the loop is set to add four such objects in each transaction, the commit rate falls to 30tps. Or if just one object is created and added to the VirtualDictionary the commit rate increases to 50tps (with the log archive delay interval reduced to 750ms, so as not to trigger re-initialization of the log archive process, which by default happens when there are 100 transactions in the log buffer file).
