Test Tools

Last updated: 2024-07-23 17:41:00
    This document describes how to install SysBench, a performance testing tool for TencentDB for MySQL, in a CVM instance.

    SysBench Overview

    SysBench is a modular, cross-platform, and multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a database under intensive load. The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or even without installing a database at all.

    SysBench Testing Model

    In a standard mixed OLTP read/write scenario of SysBench, a transaction contains 18 read/write SQL statements.
    In a standard OLTP read-only scenario of SysBench, a transaction contains 14 SQL read statements (ten primary key-based POINT SELECT queries and four range queries).
    In a standard OLTP write-only scenario of SysBench, a transaction contains four write SQL statements (two UPDATE statements, one DELETE statement, and one INSERT statement).

    MySQL server host
    mysql-port
    MySQL server port
    mysql-user
    MySQL user
    mysql-password

    time
    Test time
    threads
    Number of test threads
    percentile
    The percentile range to be counted, which is 95% by default, i.e., the execution times of requests in 95% of the cases
    report-interval
    Interval for outputting a test progress report in seconds. 0 indicates to output only the final result but not the test progress report

    How to Install

    This stress test uses SysBench 1.0.20. For more information, see here.
    1. Run the following command to install SysBench in a CVM instance:
    yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake make libtool bzr mysql-devel git mysql
    git clone https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench.git
    ##Download SysBench from GitHub
    cd sysbench
    ##Open the SysBench directory
    git checkout 1.0.20
    ##Switch to SysBench 1.0.20
    ./autogen.sh
    ##Run `autogen.sh`
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
    make
    ##Compile
    make install
    2. Run the following command to configure the client, so that the kernel can use all CPU cores to process data packets and reduce context switches within each CPU core.
    sudo sh -c 'for x in /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-*; do echo ffffffff>$x/rps_cpus; done'
    sudo sh -c "echo 32768 > /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries"
    sudo sh -c "echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_flow_cnt"
    sudo sh -c "echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-1/rps_flow_cnt"
    Note:
    ffffffff indicates that 32 CPU cores are used (one f represents four CPU cores).
