Trying out Advanced MySQL

I recently learned of the Advanced MySQL project on github via a tweet. There is a book and a repo for an enhanced version of 8.0.40. I wish I had the time to read some of that book and learn more about the enhancements but for now I just ran my sysbench tests for it on a few large servers. Hopefully I will also run the Insert Benchmark for it on the same servers.

tl;dr

  • Advanced MySQL is good for performance
  • On the dell32 server that has a large regression for the update-index microbenchmark in MySQL 8.0.40, the Advanced MySQL project fixes most of the regression
  • On the ax162-s server for which the update-index regression is smaller, the Advanced MySQL project still does a lot better than upstream
Builds

I used upstream MySQL 8.0.28 and 8.0.40 as well as the advanced MySQL version of 8.0.40. All were compiled from source using CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE =Release, -O2 and -fno-omit-frame-pointer.

The builds are named:
  • my8028_rel_o2nofp - upstream MySQL 8.0.28
  • my8040_rel_o2nofp - upstream MySQL 8.0.40
  • my8040adv_rel_o2nofp - Advanced MySQL 8.0.40
The my.cnf files are here for 8.0.28 and for 8.0.40.

Hardware

The servers are
  • dell32
    • Dell Precision 7865 Tower Workstation with 1 socket, 128G RAM, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX with 32-Cores, 2 m.2 SSD (each 2TB, RAID SW 0, ext4). 
  • ax162-s
    • AMD EPYC 9454P 48-Core Processor with SMT disabled, 128G RAM, Ubuntu 22.04 and ext4 on 2 NVMe devices with SW RAID 1. This is in the Hetzner cloud.
Benchmark

I used sysbench and my usage is explained here. A full run has 42 microbenchmarks and most test only 1 type of SQL statement.

The benchmark is run with ...
  • dell32 - 24 threads, 8 tables, 10M rows/table
  • ax162-s - 40 threads, 8 tables, 10M rows/table
Each microbenchmark runs for 300 seconds if read-only and 600 seconds otherwise. Prepared statements were enabled.

Results: overview

All of the results se relative QPS (rQPS) where:
  • rQPS is: (QPS for my version / QPS for base version)
  • base version is the QPS from MySQL 8.0.28
  • my version is one of the other versions (8.0.40 from upstream, 8.0.40 from Advanced MySQL)
Results: dell32

Summary
  • 8.0.40 from upstream and Advanced MySQL have similar performance on most microbenchmarks
  • Advanced MySQL does a lot better on the update-index microbenchmark while upstream has a large regression that started in 8.0.30 (and perhaps in 8.0.29).
